Fairfarren... Coletta.

Dear Friend... Dale Frese, lost his Mother, Coletta Becker Frese, November 16th.

Coletta's Funeral was today, in Norway, Iowa... near where Coletta lived most of her entire 89 years on this Earth.

<3

Coletta was a devout Catholic.

Her services, today... were in Norway, at St. Michael's Catholic Church.

<3

Same Beautiful Church... Our... Dear, Bud Schulte's services were held, just... two months ago.

Bud, was Very Close to The Church, as well.

<3

So Beautiful.

truly...

a

Sanctuary.

<3 <3 <3 

I have never belonged to an organized religion...

have always felt, we are All... God's Children...

and certainly appreciate others thoughts, and beliefs.

After studying, when I was young, with several organized religions, it seemed to me, we have much more in common, than not.

<3

I prefer... to speak directly to The Lord, whenever... and wherever.

{I NEED His Help... Often!! ; ) }

Above is a statue of Michael... the archangel.

<3

He's my Favorite Angel.

: )

He's a Warrior.

<3

The Same Awesome Priest, I'd met at Bud's Funeral... 

who... actually, reminds me of Budwardo... : )

gave Coletta, a Beautiful Send Off, today.

<3

: )

Shook his hand, and Thanked him, again. Told the Priest, how much I appreciate him, and... his beautiful services, but... 

we've gotta stop meeting like 'this'.

: (

: )

The Priest told me... he needs to come visit The Antique Stores.

; )

Yes...

Indeed.

I've known Dale... and his former wife... Colleen, for decades.

<3

Wonderful... People.

'Family'.

When I shook Dale's Sister's hand... {Carmen} today...

introduced myself, as her Brother, Dale's... 'Other Family'.

: )

The Antique 'Family'.

: )

{like the 'Mafia'...

 Once You're In...

There Ain't No Gettin' Out. : ) }

Carmen TOTALLY Understood that... : )

Hahahahaha!!!!

I've only met Coletta, a couple of times, over the years... we visited several times on the phone.

: )

She... was a Lovely Lady.

Hard... Hard... Working!!

Oh My!!

<3

Told Dale... years ago... when he'd tell me how Coletta Insisted on Helping him clean house...and do yard work...

: )

"Dale... I Need a 'Coletta'!!

Are Ya Braggin' or Complainin'???"

{Posted Carrie Underwood, and Vince Gill... singing How Great Thou Art, 

above, for Coletta.

Somehow... I believe, she would approve.

Coletta... was a Powerful Woman.

Underwoods performance is about as Powerful... as it gets.

Vince Gill.

He, and Alison Krauss.... I've Always believed, are Heaven Sent.

Angels... on Earth. }
