Hi Carol,
I have not talked to you in a long time. Thank you for posting this. I send you a big hug. I will miss Grandma VERY VERY MUCH. I agree with you that of all the people on this earth to follow in how she lived and who she was- Grandma Wege was the one. She was a walking angel on this earth. She’s just gone home now. I first cried at the loss of her. Then I cried for her- knowing (as you said) she’s finally back with Grandpa. I am so fortunate to have had them in my life. Without them, the right path to walk would have been much harder to see. I loved them both dearly- and always will. Anyone who never met them missed an opportunity to see what it meant to be a truly good Christian person. I miss them, but will see them again. So will you. I love you Carol. Heather Reeves

Heather,

I am so glad to hear from you!! I now have your e-mail & will send you a note. I would love to keep in touch with you. If you are coming to the service on Thursday, I will see you then. If not, I hope we can arrange to see each other in the future.

Thank you so much for commenting on this post. It means so much to me to hear how much Mom and Dad meant to others. They meant the world to me.

I love you too, Heather.
Carol

Hi Carol!
I look forward to hearing from you!
I know you have a lot to deal with so until then- just wanted to let you know that I think it is best I do not attend. Off all the places in the world I would want to be- it would be there to pay her the respect she deserves. But, I feel my presence would cause issues with other individuals that would take away from what that day is for. It is for Grandma and no one else. She deserves the respect to make sure it is that way. Not being there is the only way I know how to ensure that. I will set aside that day for her here- in my own way. I may not be there, but she knows how much I love her. I hope you understand.
You have my support and my love.
Heather

Carol, John and family,

I was so sad when I received the news on Sunday morning that Aunt Honey had passed away. My sincere sympathy on the loss of your Mom, she was a truly remarkable woman, a true lady who loved those around her fully and deeply.

The last time that I saw her was in April 2003 when she traveled to Seattle with Aunt Betty Jean and Uncle Bob for my brother’s wedding. We filled that weekend with many old stories, laughter and memories. It’s a weekend I will never forget.

I am holding all of you in my heart and prayers.

With love,

Julie Anne Black
Great Niece

Julie,

Thank you so much for your note and your prayers.

Blessings,
Carol

Dear Carol,
I was so sad when John called Sunday morning to tell me of Aunt Honey’s passing. If you looked up the word “lady” in the dictionary it would have had Esther Wege’s name by it! I have been blessed to be a part of Uncle Milton’s and Aunt Honey’s lives since 1967. I recall the time they were visiting Harriet and Biggie and my dauchshund, Fritz, got too exuberant and took a piece of Honey’s lip. I felt so badly. John called in January to say that she had misplaced a cookbook that I had sent her years ago with the famous “Booze Brownies” recipe. The book is out of print, but I copied the recipe. John said that she later found the book in her apartment and read it from cover to cover. We had such a wonderful visit at David’s wedding in April, 2003. She was as beautiful as ever! My most sincere sympathys are extended to you and yours. May you be able to grasp the “good times” and hold them close to your heart. I will hold you in my prayers and thoughts. Much love, Denise

Denise,

Thank you for your thoughtful note. Those Booze Brownies were a family favorite!

Love,
Carol
