As I reflect on the loss of Bob earlier this year and now Alvina, I can't help but recall the 100's of happy childhood memories I have that include Bob, Alvina, Dave, Barb, Donnie, and Roger. Boating at Delhi. The Cabin at Delhi. Picking cherries off Alvina's tree. "Helping" milk cows. Waiting at the end of the drive for a go-cart sighting. Alvina helping us pick chickens (bless her for that!!!). Alvina helping give us perms. Bike riding up to Alvina's for any reason we could possibly create...and she graciously welcomed us every time. The quilt she made me when I graduated from high school and then the quilt she gave me when I got married...made from fabrics my childhood dresses had been made from. My list goes on and on and on.
I am so thankful for all of the wonderful memories that include the Greif family. I wish you all peace and comfort during this very sad time.
