May I share the memory of the love for Mrs Brunori. I am the little red headed girl, next door, granddaughter to Clyde and Edna Rhodes (deceased) Every time I cam to visit my grandparents and knocked on Mrs. Brunori’s door, she gave me $1. Catherine and Ernie lived in the house as well, Mr. Brunori I don’t remember, he may have been gone. This would have been late 50’s, 60’s, 70’s. My husband Luke and I stopped for a visit coming from Denver Colorado. Thank you for letting me share, I am a first cousin of Brad Goris in Alliance.

Nonnie You've been such an inspiration to me throughout the course of my life. I've listened and learned many things from you, my parents, zio Nesto(cacu), aunt Alice, zio Vic and Jim and yes my sister too and a whole host of Italian and German relatives. It was always a joy to watch you look at a crocheted, knitted or beaded item at a garage sale or Christmas bizarre and come home, stay up until the wee hours of the morning and make an exact replica of that item. Personally, I always believed that whatever it was you made was much better than the original. I realized at a young age that a polenta stick had multiple uses � at times I think my butt still hurts. Did it hurt me, absolutely not, I deserved it and I gained discipline and character from it. If only the youth of today had grandma's with polenta sticks. Speaking of polenta, you knew I loved polenta with rabbit and I know you made the best. You made so many good Christmas cookies and candies at the holidays that even the most successful baker would be jealous. You took care of friends and family over the years through hard times and health issues. You even took care of yourself when you decided to quit smoking when you were in your 80's. continued
