Trella Hemmerly – 1983-10-06

Thursday, October 6, 1983
Breakfast with David & did 3 loads of washing. In to Mary’s about 12 after picking Dave up at school. David & I went to funeral home about 12:30 & the rest waited for Kathi to arrive. Cheryl Knapp went to airport to get her. Pauline & Harry Jacoby at funeral home when we got there & DOris Stewart came soon after. 9 from the shop came – & shop was closed from 12 to 3. David, Dave, John Fetter & Loren were pall bearers & mother & daddy now lie side by side.* After committment talked to Jim Riddle & he said come in & he would see about a monument for the grave. Monther’s fondest wish. Also gave us deed for it.

Geneva Brewer organized & served a lunch at Mary’s & the Bakers, Gibsons, Dale Heckers & our family (6) were there. Just half of mother’s 10 descendants there. After all gone we went to cemetery & rearranged the flowers & brought some home to give to nursing home friends. Had fried rice for supper. Called Uncle Allend to tell him about the services & since Kathi went to sleep while I was talking with him I called Bob & thanked him for Kathi’s support.
