Norma (Lehnert) Sumpter Appleby
I have many fond memories of our families' get togethers...mainly when your family lived in Illinois (where I also grew up). Trudy was my mother's cousin...and they, along with Trudy's sister & brother, and my mother's sister...were also very good friends! I know many stories that my mother told me, about what this group did whenever they got together! 😊
My ONLY regret is that we didn't all stay as close as those cousins were. Which I guess happens as the physical distance gets greater. 😔 My Aunt is now the ONLY one remaining, from that small group of 5 cousins. I also wish I could have made it to Washington state a year and a half ago...when my youngest son & his wife were living and working as Travel Nurses in the Seattle area for about 3 months. I so wanted to visit with Trudy & her girls, along with their families.
But on the other hand...Les & Trudy, Harold & Ruth (Trudy's sister), George (Trudy's brother), and Helen & Harold (my parents)...along with many of their loved ones are TOGETHER AGAIN in Heaven...rejoicing with our Lord and Savior!!!
