Elise and family, my condolences to you on the passing of your mother, She was a lovely, talented lady.
My parents, Martha and Fred Schmidt, were good friends of your grandparents. My mother was your mother’s Godmother. Your grandfather borded with my parents when he came to this country.
I remember your grandmother’s infectious laugh when the ladies had their koffee klatch. .Also, trips to the lake as a child when we lived in Jersey City.
I am a widow and live in the senior community Renaissance in Manchester. My cousin is Joan (Huebsch) Leather and she told me the sad news.
Please forward
