Arnold, NE Tuesday, January 26, 2021 Diane,I have so many beautiful memories of your mom, especially growing up, as you and I would spend time in the kitchen experimenting with recipes or we would share meals at your table (especially when your dad would bring fresh walleye home from Omaha). I also think about how many times your mom had to listen to "Build Me Up Buttercup" streaming from your 'record room' as we would listen to music and dance for hours. So glad to have known her and to be able to hold these and other memories of your mom in my heart. Hope to see you soon, and give my best to all your family. So wish I could be there to see you and them. Love, Mary
