We remember Levin as she passed away this past November.
We all gathered at James and Melba's house for a memorial for our sister and sister-in-law.
Everyone showed up, which was beautiful.
Levin's passing caught everyone by surprise because we were just not expecting it.
Levin is a beautiful soul. She did not care what anyone thought about what she said. She just spoke her mind. She loved nature. She grew her own garden of vegetables, a corn field, and a blueberry's patch (with Don).
Debbie and I were at Don and Levin's not long ago before she passed. We enjoyed ourselves. We were happy to see them both. Then, just like that, she was gone, a candle snuffled out in the wind. How more precarious can life be!
Elvin and Linda just got in, hugging Mama and Debbie. It's just nice that the people you don't get to see often were there for their sister, like Louis and Elvin. Can we see you more often? I enjoyed a very good conversation with Elvin. Can you come visit us sometimes? If a person scrambles Levin and Elvin's names, you'll get the same letters; and both love nature!
Martha brought some good pulled pork for the occasion which everyone enjoyed. Carey brought his "new" motorcycle "which everyone enjoyed". I rode it too. Fun! Then we rode James "new" ATV. Fun! Then Don wanted to play a Rook game. Great! I played too. Isn't he the widower? Actually, that's what Levin would have liked. "Don't be too somber about me, have some fun too". Well, we were there to honor her. Some people even watched the football game!!! Some memorial!
Levin, trust us, we love you and miss you. We had a sad memorial and a fun one too. Because you always laughed.

Andre,
I think as "inlaws" Levin liked us.She was a special person and will be greatly missed. She always liked to boss her brothers and sisters,and she did it in her later years just because she got a kick out of them. She said she was the oldest so she had the right! I am sure she is keeping things going on the other side. Love,Melba
