It was a pleasure to see Alma the last time I visited St Cloud. We had a pleasant conversation and it was nice to see her family again. We have made a donation to wounded warriors in her name.

Alma was my very sweet sister.I will miss her.She always called on my birthday and sang Happy birthday to me. I will miss her in the family.

I will miss our telephone conversations. Say hi to everyone in heaven for me.

50 years ago my family moved onto the same block as Alma’s & Joe’s family. Mrs Grams, as I called her, was a sweet and caring Mother. I extend my sympathies to the Grams family on the loss of their Matriarch

I am so sorry for your loss. I never met Alma but I know she must have been an amazing woman to have raised such a gracious, wonderful son, Steve. I have not had the pleasure of meeting her other children, but I am sure they are just as special. What a wonderful life of 91 years. Our human loss is real but our souls will never be lost from one another. God Bless!!

Missed ever so dearly….may you be dancing in heaven with grandpa, and may Barb be blessed with her mother by her side once again! Words can not express how much you mean to me, how much you’re loved and missed Grandma! Until we have our potatoes pancake dates once again in heaven…..bless your compassionate soul! 💖

What a lovely picture of our dear sister. May she rest in peace and enjoy her time with the other family members that went before her. Eleven in heaven and still eleven of us here on earth.
