We understand the vacancy left by Trudy, a life well lived! Our Mother, Sarah Vieselmeyer, Certainly appreciated the rides your folks gave her to the Senior Dinners at Fairview Nazerene. And she could ever say enough good about the VanManen annual Christmas Caroling visits to her room at Sunnyridge during her 19 yrs of being a widow. Thanks you, and may our gracious Lord comfort you with your many great memories!

While I am sorry for your loss, I am joyful that your mom is reunited with friends and family with her new and perfect body. I really enjoyed reading her book about 6 years ago, and was disappointed to learn that John is not eligible to run for President of the United States. What a journey she had surviving World War II and creating a life and a family that has made such a positive impact on the Treasure Valley and beyond. The significance of her Godly influence didn't end when her life on earth did. I know the heart of many of her grandchildren, and I am confident that they will continue to honor not only her memory, but the God that she served. A life well lived!

I know Mom and Dad, Tom and Dorothy Cotner, would send condolences if they were here so I will send for them. I don't know if they were able to meet your mom, but they thought the world of you kids that they knew. Maybe they greeted your mother in Heaven. :-) Mom was at Grace Assisted from Jan. 2012 - May 2014 so maybe they did know each other and visited with each other a time or two. May the Lord Bless and comfort you with precious memories. What a comfort it is knowing she is with our Lord.
