Dear Seigfried, when I saw your mother's name i had to see if you were one of her children. We were in 5th grade together in Mr. Noel's class at Langham Elementary. I never knew what happened to you, but have thought about you over the years. I am so sorry for your loss. Your mom sounds like she was a wonderful lady. God bless you and you're family, Vande (Gilchrist) Derrick.

Your sweet Momma and Grandma stole our hearts from the first day we met her as our new neighbor, many years ago, and she will carry them with her always! ❤️ Her beaming smile and joyful laughter brought true sunshine to the lives of everyone who had the blessing of knowing her! She was a truly remarkable woman! Her tenacity of spirit, yet compassionate, loving heart touched many lives along her journey through life. Our love and prayers are with all of you! May God bless All of you and May He wrap you in His loving arms of comfort and peace during these difficult days. May your many precious memories of your Momma and Grandmother bring you Joy and Happiness in the days to come. We love you all! Richard and Cyndi Kain
