Emma Bottke

Grandma was about enjoying life. She was about people being together and having a great time -- laughing, telling great stories, playing cards, and otherwise whooping it up. She told hilarious stories and jokes. I remember some of her friends she knew for decades, many years before I was born. She was impressively dedicated to her family, all members of her family. I remember her unmatchable cooking -- most especially her hand-rolled noodles for chicken soup. I remember her asking me to leave her kitchen if I lingered and asked to help. I have powerful memories of her with open arms each summer at the cottage, crouching down to greet me with a big hug as I ran into her arms -- and every Christmas in Saginaw-- and I can hear her saying "Hi, Aim-Boo!" I remember her at Christmas pulling out a top or an outfit from a gift box and saying, "...it's from Jake's....isn't that darrr-ling!" I remember when she got me, Lisa, and Aunt Bethann down on our knees with elbows on the bench of her organ to pray that Todd would be okay the Christmas Eve he choked on the piece of meat and was rushed to the ER. I remember her dancing. I remember how pretty she was in all stages and ages of life, her hair always done so nicely, her outfits always perfect. I remember her dancing at my wedding. I remember her holding our Stella at 6-months-old at Melissa and James' wedding. You were so kind and loving to me all through my life. I will miss you deeply, Grandma. Amy Bottke
