Grandma, I will miss you. But I know you are at peace and you are happy living in the kingdom of the Lord. I know you are now with grandpa Al, Uncle Al, great grandma Lund and my dad Jerry. I will never forget all of the fun memories we shared together. You raised nine children and endured all of life's obstacles. You taught us to be strong and how important family is during tough times. I experience this when your son, my father Jerry Karels past away. For this I am grateful. You acknowledged every family member's birthday, holiday and celebration. I know your favorite holiday was Easter, when you would make Easter baskets for everyone down to the great grandchildren. You made all of us feel very special in your own way and for that I Thank You. Our large family is a special gift. Look at what you and grandpa created, this large family that I am very proud of. As a grandma you were a special gift from God and I will always cherish our relationship. Love, Rhonda Karels Melom
