Michael,
I am so sorry for your loss. Your Mother must have been a wonderful person to have raised someone as honest, kind and thoughtful as yourself.
My thoughts are with you during
this trying time.

My mother, what can you say,she did everything a mother is suppose to do and more. As a kid, she was my Den Mother in Scouts, always something to do, no sitting around. As a teenager, still a den mother, but the group was now The Animal House! Not sure how we all survived. She was always building something or collecting something else. Once again, what can you say, she was one of a kind and will be missed.

Sorry for your loss.
Oh, what fond memories I have of the years in Salt Lake of your mother, Dad,and all of the family, and our times together.
Unfortunately, Barbara and I lost contact several years ago, but she has always been in my heart.
She was a wonderful person and a good friend.

Dearest Schubach Family, Our deepest condolences to you all over the loss of your Mother and Grandmother. Not sure if you remember us-the Athens Family but we all lived in the same neighborhood in SLC. Your Mother was a dear friend of our Mother’s- Georgia Athens. I remember playing with Jean and Molly probably in the late 50′s early 60′s. I also remember what a fun family you all were and how pretty your Mother was. Take care and again we are so sorry.

Hi Will and Ted. I was sorry to read about your Mother’s passing. The last time I saw her was in L.A. the summer of 1966. I remember that your Dad was overjoyed at having a rock ‘n roll band set up in his garage! I’m sure your Mom was excited too. Again, sorry about the news. Hope you guys are OK. Take care…Rich.

Sorry to hear that another of the old Highlands “Animals House” group up on Wyndemere Dr. has moved on. Real neat neighborhood then with the Chandlers, Thurbers, Richard B Smiths, Gibsons x 2, Schubachs of course, right in the middle of everything, Nagels, Melvilles, Roses, Millensifers, and a lot more. Nice `64 Tempest you had Will. Good Luck to all the Schubach families. Your mother was a wonderful person !
