Aunt Hennie. What a beautiful lady. I didn’t get to see Aunt Hennie much but when I did we always had a good time laughing. Her little laugh was so her. She let me help milk the cows when I was out there in the summer of 1981. She told me I had to help with the little calves and one of them almost pulled the nipple off the bottle. She said, you have to hold on and don’t let that little guy beat you….and then laughed. I can still see that moment as if it was yesterday. She was a wonderful lady. Prayers are with you all.
Love ya’s
Cousin Gina (Art Zerr’s daughter)
