We said goodbye to Nathan's grandmother last week. She was quite a lady and lived to be 95. Born and raised in South Dakota, she had a quite a presence. Her family was the Minier family, and one of her relatives actually had s town in Illinois named after him. She ran a small general store in Lake Norden for years and was known for her kindness and generosity to others. In the cards the family received after her death there were stories of how she always gave people the benefit of the doubt and extended credit to many families who had fallen upon hard times. We all loved her for her spirit and her fiery support of the Democratic party. The children will remember her disdain for George Bush and her comment, "Why I wouldn't cross the road to say hi to him!" Rest in Peace Grandma
