My friend's Mom in Michigan is down to her last day or two tonight, according to an email he sent me today. She was the hard-working wife of a German Lutheran farmer, the kind of person who never complained about anything.
She grew lots of crops in her garden in the warm months, canned them for the cold months, and always had plenty to share when someone like me showed up.
Everything she served was delicious.
She had an infectious optimism, the kind of outlook that even in the midst of a long Michigan winter taught us younger ones that the sun would indeed be returning one day, warming the seeds, sending new sprouts upward, for yet another season here on earth.
Good night, Clara Kohn. May your passing be peaceful and may you rest in peace, eternally. And my love to your entire, wonderful family.

Hi David, Your comments echo how I felt when I read Clara's obit in last night's Midland paper. She was indeed a special person. May her family celebrate her long life.
Cute pictures of the little one playing soccer with the older ones.
Love, Nance
