This is Part 2 of the column I started last week.
Tim and Ervin seated the guests at the tables. The table closest to the “Eck” (which is where the bride and groom and their four witnesses sat) was seated with family such as the parents, grandparents, siblings (that didn’t have part in serving) and Day Brighteners.

Lovina Takes Time to Remember Loved Ones Who Have Gone Before
Our sympathy goes to the family of Aunt Caroline, age 94. She passed away on September 15th. Although we won’t be able to make it to her funeral, our thoughts and prayers are with the family. Aunt Caroline was married to my dad’s brother Andy. I’ll share a part of her obituary:
The Eicher’s Have a Family Night and Lovina Shares a Daily Diary
I am going to write a daily diary for today, September 22. First of all, Happy 6th Birthday to grandson Curtis. I left him a voicemail wishing him a happy birthday. I can already see him when his parents let him listen to it. Friday night was our monthly “Family night” at Ervin and Susan’s house. Susan told me he likes to color so we gave him color books, colored pencils and a card game
Daughter Verena Writes About Newly Married Life
Hello readers! This is Lovina’s daughter Verena. Daniel Ray is outside weed whacking and I have all my work caught up so I decided to write Mom’s column.

Lovina’s Children Write a Tribute for their Mother’s Birthday Part 2

Happy birthday to you, Mom; the heart and soul of our family! Another year wiser!! 🙂 I like to think we are like the saying goes “like mother like daughter” (because who wouldn’t want to be you!) with similar physical traits and personality. Perhaps I think too highly of myself in that manner. I suppose the little girl in me is still attempting to grow up to be “just like my mom “… strong, wise, and beautiful.
MEMORIES FROM LOVINA’S MOTHER’S COLUMN
November 1991- As we went to church this morning, is it just a habit of going? Most people go to church on Sunday and some have the habit of going to church at other times. If anyone tells you religion is just a habit, we’d answer them that’s better to have that habit then not have it at all.
A Weekend with the Grandchildren
We have entered into the month of May—so next month is June, which brings us even closer to daughter Lovina and Daniel’s wedding.

Lovina Enjoys Laundry Day with a Repaired Machine
It is 9 p.m. as I sit here on our front wraparound porch—a cool place to relax at night. My patio table and chairs are in the corner, so I get the west and north breeze. It is so peaceful. Daughter Verena is here tonight. I can hear her and daughter Lovina talking in the … Continue Reading ››
Lovina Meets Old and New Readers at a Book Signing
It’s 5 a.m. here at the Eicher house. All is quiet. My husband Joe and son Joseph left for work already. Son Benjamin is working in Ohio. He’s been gone since Monday morning. The house seems empty without him around.
Sister Verena came here last night and stayed the night. They were calling for storms, and … Continue Reading ››
