Elnora (Mom) I want you to know how hard I tried to find you these past few years. Thru your son Michael and grandson Bryon who had met me several times with Gary, but neither returned my calls. I even called the sheriffs office to do a welfare check on you and found you no longer lived on Dixon when your phone numbers no longer went thru. Every time I called you, you said when are you coming up. I think of you trying to sleep in your recliner and doing word search and watching you eat your favorite meal at Bob Evans. I think of you and Lex and how much you teased and loved each other. And how you wore shorts in the house in winter. I was honored to be a part of Alex’s cancer journey and cherish all of our visits and phone calls and being a part of your grief journey when he could no longer hold on because of the pain. I loved you both dearly as second parents having lost mine many years before. I was planning to visit because I missed you and we always made each other laugh. I’m sorry your son or grandson never returned any of my calls. You were the one that gave me Bryons number. I wish I could have seen you and heard your laugh one last time. I know you are at peace now and back with Lex in the presence of God. I always wondered about Anna and Doc too. I am so grateful for every moment I spent with you and your husband in visits to your home and phone conversations. I can hear you saying “when you coming up? I’ll be waiting. You better get started now”. I don’t know when I’m coming up, but I know when I pass, I will be able to visit with you again and introduce you to my first mom and dad. I’ve typed your name in so many times in trying to find you and this time when I thought of it, I just knew I would see your name. I love you dearly my second mom. Be at peace now. You finally get the rest you so deserve.
