Muscatine

She will be truely missed.

Thank you deeply.

Our boys and grandsons have been busy these past weekends helping move our things. I do wish I could express how happy you all made her with this venue, as well as she could. It had always been the highlight of her days right after mixing up the latest bunch of cookies or muffins. Though her mornings were mostly arduous and the ocasional late night on here, made all the difference. As some of us already understand, these Autumn years usually are that way. I wasn't, and still am not the outspoken sort she was,  but grew to appreciate just what an important sort of happiness you all offered Rosy among these pages. Agree or disagree with her and look out, she never backed down from a challenge or to expound over what she knew or just learned. But most of all, her humerous take and objectivity is what made her such a magnetic person. I always marveled at what my Bea knew. There were countless times I could have sworn she read the encyclopedia just to argue. But when she knew she was under the spread she said so. Now today this machine will be unplugged and I would like to thank you all once again not just on Bea's behalf, but for our entire family who helped get this thing started in the first place. Our oldest daughter set this up for her correctly thinking that it might give her the best outlet for that racing strong mind of hers.

Thanks again.

Martin.
