LINDA TIEZZI WALDERA on AUNT LOUISE and UNCLE BONI

I always loved being with Aunt Louise when we were listening to music. She loved listening and singing along. She was always an enthusiastic participator; she clapped her hands to the beat, danced and just plain "got down" but not dirty. I am also gratetful that she put up with my crying fits every time I attempted to "sleep over". I was not used to sleepovers outside of our little village Fairview and so when they first allowed me to stay over with Karen in Peoria, at first I had major bouts of panic and homesickness. However, that soon subsided and I was a frequent visitor in Peoria. Uncle Bonnie and Aunt Louise were both very generous and genuine. On one occasion, I had an international college friend who became ill and ended up at St. Francis hospital. I had to go back to school but Uncle Bonnie and Aunt Louise visited her regularly in the hospital and took her home until another college friend could return to Peoria and pick her up. This is the kind of family we had. Genuine and Generous!
