This week the last of my Mother’s seven siblings passed away. Gertrude was my Mother’s younger sister by 9 years. Gertrude would have been 89 this August of 2014. We all knew her as Gertie. At celebrations you always knew if Gertie was there as her laugh floated above the gathering and then she could easily be found as she loved large colorful flower printed dresses. When my son Kevin was just a toddler he heard “Aunt Birdie” and that stuck within our household when we spoke of her. She will be missed and leave a large hole in Riebe family gatherings.

Me, Myself and Memories
The Blog of Noreen L. Curry
I am a retired 44-year veteran of the Real Estate Assessment field. As with real estate assessing and how it applies to real estate taxes, one can make many acquaintances, but not many real friends. It was a great career choice.
It has been nearly 10 years since I reclaimed my home and my real passions within my home. I enjoy it more each day and tip my hat to those who I left behind.
Each day I try to stretch myself with the use of my computer as it relates to this site and using it to print out labels for quilts for trying to incorporate photos into my sewing. Life is so full and I know that I have room for more.
