From Bev Clark, To my sister-in-law Edie, Bill, Charlene & family, Bo & Dana & family, my daughters-Debbie, Melissa, & Colette & your families, Louise, all of Moom's other grandchilren, nieces, & nephews: My heart goes out to all of you as we mourn the passing of Moom. I was lucky to have been able to visit her 2 yrs,ago in the nursing home, & had hoped to go again this yr. Memories of my time knowing Moom go way back to the summer of 1964. I was 16. On my 1st visit with her, she was in the backyard brushing her adorable Pomeranian, thoroughly enjoying every minute. She shyly smiled as she greeted me, holding the dog up for me to see. Fast forward to January 1970: Moom woke up early to comfort me when I had labor pains for my 1st child, reassuring me that she would'nt let Popi drive me to the hospital in his old rusted out pick up truck, or on the back of the snowmobile, as he teased me he would do if it kept snowing hard. I remember the Easter Moom put Freshen up gum in all the kids baskets....the same year my 3 yr old ate the entire packet plus some of her sister's. Thanks Moom. I remember awesome Thankssgiving dinners. Mooms stuffing was the best I've ever had to this day!! Xmases driving from Rochester- Moom waiting at the door to help undress 2 toddlers & help a 6 yr old get boots off. Moom always telling us, "Make sure you get the girls a doll. Every little girl needs a doll under the xmas tree!" I remember all the grandchildren running around the backyard with the dogs, with Moom watching them play with a huge smile on her face. There are so many more happy moments. The picture of Moom sitting near the window at the nursing home, smiling so happily as she watched her young grandsons hold up a sign that read, "Hi Moom! We miss you! We love you!," is how I will remember her best. You are truly missed. Rest in peace, Leona.
