I lived in Saukville in the late 1950’s and early 1960’s when I was quite young. I played with “DeDe” and I remember Mrs Vincevineus was always so nice to me! I happened to see the notice in the Milwaukee Journal today. I wanted to share my fond memories of her (and the family). I noticed in the picture that she looks very much like I remember her. My deepest sympathy to her family.
I knew you for a short time. You could always make me smile. Loved talking with you,watching the birds, Really liked when you would ask me to sit by you and hold your hand. You will always be in my heart.
My fondest memories of Norma are when we were members of IC Choir together for many years! We got to know each other quite well during those years. We shared a likeness for birds and a walk thru her gardens were so enjoyable!! God Bless You, Norma–you have many who will miss you but have fond, loving memories of your love for life!!
Grandma was a beautiful woman inside and out. Growing up, Sarah, Phil, and I spent many days out at Cedar Cove. Grandma loved the outdoors and taking us for walks, where we learned all about the different animals (mainly birds) that we would see, learned about all the flowers and foods planted in the garden, and anything else outdoors we would come across.
I cherish all my memories with Grandma Norma and Grandpa Joe. Love you always, Cate.
