It's amazing how when you start to actually think about someone how easily memories start to come back. Every Sunday on our ritual visit to my grandparents home in Wright, I always made it a point to look at the house of my Godparents, thinking I might see them in that big'ol yard. I remember staircases! Wow, such steep staircases, either the ones going upstairs or down to the basement. I can recall so vividly going to the cabin during the summer for what seemed like huge gatherings and great food and FISHING! We would go visit Walt and Katherine, eat a huge lunch, go immediatly to Wilbert and Elvina's and it didn't matter that we had just ate, Elvina would lay out a full spread to do it all over again, and it would be so good. When I was first explained the idea of what a Godparent is, I thought then and still do to this day how importnat and special that is. Wilbert and Elvina will always hold a special place in my heart not just as my aunt and uncle, but as people who would always be there for me; and I miss them dearly.
Condolences to my Soukkala cousins,
Wade
