    Ruth and I extend deep condolences to you, Eugene (Gene), and your family on the loss of our "Aunt Sis." She made many memories as I grew up with you living close. And she has been kind to Ruth, as well, in our 46 years of marriage. Aunt Sis had her opinions, but everyone does. She really enjoyed and looked forward to my drawings. She followed through on her mother's (Carrie Laible) wishes to have "Somewhere over the Rainbow" sung at Grandma's funeral, and to have ham served after the service. We will miss visiting her on our trips to Illinois. Norman and Ruth Laible
