Wife of Albert Lanville Magner, Jennie Doris Gager


Thank you for a Mother - Grandmother - Great Grandmother that was so loving and who was loved by all her family.

Thank you for a Mom that instilled self worth; self esteem in each of us that we could face the world and life with confidence and feel good about ourselves in any circumstance or situation.

Thank you for a Mom that showed us how to love one another; have respect for those around us.

Thank you for a Mom with a good sense of humor - (joke she would tell about a little bird that flew into a store) - she used to laugh so hard she sometimes couldn't finish.

Thank you for a Mom that brought God into each of our lives.

Mom loved Life - she loved her family most of all.  She was proud of each little achievement we had though sometimes our accomplishment was so small it didn't really rate rave reviews.

I could go on for much longer, but in short what I am saying is - we thank you God for Mom and for the many blessings you have given us through Mom and her long life.

Thank you.

Thank you Richard for allowing me to post your thoughts when you were just 15 years old when our grandfather died.  I think it was beautifully written.

Note:  I found these pages and more in one of my mother's scrapbooks while I was home in September.  Priceless!

My brother, Richard wrote this 3-page 'Memories' after our Grandpa Albert Lanville Magner's death in September 1971 to our father, Albert Magner, Jr..  I have Richard's permission to post and share this beautifully written essay on my Blog.  He was 15 years old when he wrote this tribute.
