good-bye to a friend

Today was the funeral for Germaine B, a wonderful elderly woman who I've been visiting for 3+ years. Her husband of 62 years passed away this spring, and she has been carrying on without him. They were such a great couple. They farmed for many years in St. Peter, just east of Fondy and on the ledge overlooking Lake Winnebago. Germaine and especially her husband Leander, always would remember the Lisa French halloween murder case of 1973, because Lisa's remains were found on their farm. This was their 'claim to fame' that they'd rather not have. They were just delightful people. They had 1 son, and he had 6 or 7 kids...all great people too, and they were very proud of them. I'll miss them both. Rest in peace Germaine, and enjoy your reunion with Leander:)
