I am so sorry for your loss. I know it’s been a hard few years, and I hope your mom is at peace now. Sending prayers for you and your family.
What a wonderful video. She will be missed by all of her ” Meyer Family”. She was loved by all of us. We enjoyed our time together thru the years at the ” Meyer Thanksgiving” and other family events. If I remember correctly, my brother Greg was in Ron and Barb’s wedding. Also, when I was in St. Louis for part of my nursing school, I babysat with Rhonda. We will always treasure our times spent with your family.
Love Joann and Dick
Rhonda, Jill, Randy, and families….So sorry to hear of the passing of your Mom. We enjoyed the times past that we got to be with her, Ron, and your families. Thanksgiving was always more special when you and your folks were with us. I have many fond memories, and pictures, of the fun times we had. It gives me great joy to look back on those times. Our sincere condolences to all of you. She will be missed.
