To the family of Vi we send our heartfelt sympathy. We wish that we could be there with all of you. We have been thinking of you every minute since we heard the news of your loss. We hope the memories of Vi will comfort you as it has for me today. I liked it when she would say "Get out of here" everytime you would say something that surprised her! I especially remember the family picnics at the Widewaters and the Christmas's at the family home in Forest Lake, MI. There were so many people shoved into the upstairs bedrooms that you did not know who was in the house until they showed up for breakfast. I even remember when I was a little girl and visited the home of her parents in Kenosha the goats would chase me around the yard. And her spaghetti was SOoooooooo good. They even let me drink wine. We are sending baskets of love to you all and we hope that our thoughts of you all at this time will help comfort you in some way. Sincerely, Sister-in-Law and Brother-in-Law, James and Anita Nelson.
