Today a packed St. Paul’s Lutheran Church said their goodbyes to Elvera Helen Trettin. I am trusting all the greetings that Elvera’s family received from family and friends will take them to a softer part of their mourning. With my children: Carrie, Kevin and Kersten with Dennis and I, I felt the comfort that I needed going about my days without Elvera. Sisters are a rare breed. Elvera and I had a deep relationship on many different levels. I feel blessed.
I will go on with my days and be thankful that today is the oldest I have ever been and the youngest I will ever be.
