The family would like to thank the caregivers at Rittenhouse Senior Living and Allisonville Meadows for their love and support. “Your Mother is always with you. She’s the whisper of the leaves as you walk down the street. She’s the smell of certain foods you remember, flowers you pick, the fragrance of life itself. She’s the cool hand on your brow when you’re not feeling well. She’s your breath in the air on a cold winter’s day. She is the sound of the rain that lulls you to sleep, the colors of a rainbow; she is Christmas morning. Your mother lives inside your laughter. She’s the place you came from, your first home, and she’s the map you follow with every step you take. She’s your first love, your first friend, even your first enemy, but nothing on earth can separate you not time, not space…not even death.” Memorial gathering will be Saturday, August 2 from 1 – 3 pm at Feeney-Hornak Keystone Mortuary. Memorial Service will be held Sunday, August 3 at 1 pm at First Wayne Street United Methodist Church in Fort Wayne. Memorial contributions may be made to the First Wayne Street United Methodist Church or the Alzheimer’s Association. Condolences may be offered at www.feeneyhornakkeystone.com.
