2008 May 5 Mike and Dianne visit Kay on May 5 and Mike writes: "Blown in by a cold prairie windstorm, we arrived at my mother's doorstep late in the evening...Mom shares a house with Linda, her best friend for over 24 years...Their home is warm and inviting and filled to overflowing with the fun and laughter of great companionship and fine friends...many of us become poetic...when it comes to describing our mom and our memories of growing up in her household. I remember the piano lessons and the recitals. I remember being in bed, falling close to sleep, listening to the gentle lullabies mom played on the family piano, wishing I could play with such love...I remember the family dinners every night around the scuffed walnut table, the recounting of the day's activities, the Bible readings, the fabled 'Word of the day' vocabulary quizzes...the memory of these evenings a still-living lesson in civics and the humanities.
