Fremont, NE Monday, August 25, 2014 Family of Wenona, My sincere sympathy to each of you..I share in your loss as Wenona was a great friend of mine for many years. My sister and she also were good friends and the 3 of us shared many laughs, and lunches together. Wenona was also our children's first Sunday School teacher....she enjoyed the children as they too enjoyed her, especially her never ending "smile". She will enjoy her Heavenly Home with her Savior as she said, It will be beautiful there.....Know you are in my thoughts and prayers as you go through this difficult time. CarenBob Schwarz
Fremont, NE Monday, August 25, 2014 For Wenona's family. Your mom may have talked about me as I used to take care of her at Homestead, before moving to Fremont about 2 years ago. She would always tell me what a good aid I was. She became my good friend and I sent her a couple of greeting cards over the time I had left. I'm glad she is in her home and her home in Heaven. She will always have a place in my heart. She always told me about how good the ham was at the Fremont meat market. I still have not been there yet, but when I do, I will order some ham in her honor. Sympathies to her family. I will stop by the visitation tonight, with my fiance Jolene Stockamp
