VIOLA L. MANSKE - Online Memorial Website

2 years ago today was the last time that I held you and felt the warmth of your touch. I miss the way you used to touch the side of my face and look into my eyes and tell me that you loved me. When we lost Brad I missed you being here to tell me that this too shall pass and to give me your comfort as you always did when I was hurting and I hope in some small way that Sherry gets comfort from me as I did from you. You were the best Mom that anyone good ask for and I am so grateful and blessed that you were my Mom. I love you Mom and wish that you would have been here forever but I know that was impossible and I am very happy that you are no longer in pain or lost any more. I learned so much from you while you were here but of all I learned the most important thing was to love others uncontionaly I hope that I can teach my children and grandchildren as well as you taught me, by example.

Mom I remember how speacial you always made Christmas, even though you never had much money for fancy gifts you always made me feel so special. The hats and mittens I got on Christmas eve. meant more to me than any of those fancy gifts other kids got because I knew how hard you worked to get them. I remember how hard you always worked on cleaning the house to make things look nice for anyone who came over even staying up half the night to get it all done. I remember you always cooking - cooking and more cooking all the time. Mom I never thanked you enough for all you did but I just want you to know that I always appreciated it and it never did go unnoticed at least by me anyway. Mom I love you and miss you so much. The only thing that keeps me sane is knowing that you are better off there with Jesus in his heavenly kingdom and that you can remember again and that you are not lost. Merry Christmas Momma I love you

The first time i went up to the nursing home grandma was in the arts and crafts room.
