Your Mother Was Very Special To Me
By Sharon Wysong Olwin
There is definitely a feeling of connection and I have long regretted that I haven’t known my cousins as adults. There are great memories from visits when we were younger and also when Roger and I visited at your parents when Stephanie was about 16 months.
Your mother was very special to me. Very easy to talk with and was so encouraging and understanding during the time my mom was sick. She had a very interesting life and loved her children and grandchildren very much. Every holiday she would send pictures (especially the Thanksgiving celebration) and obviously enjoyed every minute of those times.
We got back from vacation last week so I finally have been able to look at some old pictures to send. There is a picture of your Mom and Dad on her birthday that I love – your family probably has it already. Also some pictures of Minnesota visits – one at the cabin mom and dad rented up north every summer, some at their house, some at our first and second houses, and one of you and I at your house! We also have some pictures that you might like of a fishing trip Uncle Bob took with Roger on our first boat up on Lake Superior.
Hope you enjoy them. Please share with Susan, Mary, Bob & John. I don’t have their contact information but just want to send all of you hugs and say that we miss your mother too.
Love to all, Sharon
