The Ohio Goettemoellers

.

Update, Thursday at 5pm is the viewing and prayers at the Catholic Church, no Mass, but people will be invited to the front of the church to speak if they choose to do so. Friday at 11am is the traditional Catholic Mass, about 1hr long, no viewing of the body. Reception to follow at 1:30PM at the white valley community hall in Lumby.

Dad looks good and peaceful, but we decided to not embalm him so hopefully he doesn’t turn by Friday

Thanks Terri for the memory. Lots of beautiful scenery here. in the valley. Here is the latest on the times for the funeral. Mass will be Thursday at 5:00pm with the viewing. On Friday morning at 11:00am the coffin will be brought to the Coldstream cemetery where he will be with two brother in laws Pete and Joe Huwer. We will be getting a double plot. Reception will follow in the Lumby Community Hall. We are trying to get a slideshow together so if you have some interesting pictures you can send them to my e-mail jeangoet@outlook.com. We will try… Read more »

Hello Jean and family. We are so very sorry for your loss. We wish we could be there to give you all hugs. I pulled out my photo book yesterday of my trip to your place in 2011. My husband Grant and I came up for a few days to visit. I had a few pics of uncle Al in there and just had to laugh at the memories I had with him. I remember when we went to leave Al wanted to take us down this logging road in our rented minivan. I thought he had lost his mind!… Read more »

Alan has passed in his sleep in the early morning of Feb. 28th. If anyone has any memories that they want to share please send them and I will include it in on the funeral. Pictures are nice as well…

I see the stock market is showing some signs of the coronavirus stress. Dropped over a 1000 points. We are watching to see what happens today. Gold is doing good hopefully silver will follow. My sister Ann is learning how to run the dialysis machine so that I can get a break. I am going to order the new roof today, still need to ask some questions about what is better, metal roof or shingles.

hi alan n jean. congratulations on the new addition. are they home yet? no complications I hope. milkhouse probably took some work to get in shape hehehe. there is a house north of town where they used to raise minks, always wondered what that took to get into shape!!!! youall have a good day

Snow again this morning, but it got cold the last few days and now it is warming up to right around freezing. My Granddaughter Laynee has horse riding lessons at an arena further down the road, What a barn they have, kitchen, stables and all. Cobblestone breezeway along the stables. Just like in the movies. But the house is an old renovated cow milking station. Like all farmers they put the monies in the farm building, house is comfortable. Greg and Amanda had their little boy, he has no name yet but he was eight pounds eight oz. Very calm… Read more »

hi alan n jean.
noyhing much to report. snow is all but gone. mid 40’sf. coming this week with three days of rain. yes, you all have a big yard n property. I imagine that it will take some work to get it straightened up after the storm damage. you can usethat for firewood I hope? moms doing ok, don’t have a new hemoglobin report. she seems to be getting more aurgumentive each day though. and its funny, just the littlest things set her off. well, I have bills to pay, then some loafing to do. later

She did have fifteen puppies but two died due to the length of her labour, 24 hrs. Our snow is melting fast as well but we are still having the just below freezing temps that is slowing it, but at least that keeps the muddiness down. I will have all kinds of work in the spring due to all the trees down from the windstorm in Oct. Bill and Tyler already spent two days with falling the leaners and skidding all the downed trees into the field. They had an open window of four days when the ground was frozen… Read more »

13 puppys????? what did you feed that dog?? hi jean n alan. good to hear all is going as expected.our snow( all 2 inches) is disappearing quickly.. warm today, turning to rain later Monday. mom is about the same, a little bit more aurgumentive? as time goes on. later

Amanda and Greg are in the final days of their new little boy arriving. Will let you know when he is finally here.
Matt and Lindsay still needs your prayers.
Angie is up to her armpits in snow in Revelstoke.
Luc just had thirteen puppies.

hi alan n jean. we are waitng in snow this afternoon. temps are around freezing to 25f. at night. moms still being in a good mood, but still not eating well, her weight is slowly decreasing. amy n brents Waylon is standing up and shuffeling along furniture, but no walking by himself. good day to you all’

It just keeps snowing here. Sitting at around 0 degrees Celsius , which is just freezing here in Canada. Alan is feeling so much better now that his meds have been changed. So anyone can call him now and he is more with the world. His anxieties are gone. Lesson here is do not use pharmaceutical drug unless absolutely needed.

ssome crappy freezing rain, ice, snow weather today.mom was feeling good yesterday. still not eating the best. they have changed her diet to soft foods, no chips or nuts. I asked ehy n the said speech therapy had recommended it??? later

Morning to all. would probably stay orange because i’m used to it. and I have seen a lot worse color combinations!!! moms doing as usual. posed to hit 55 today, but windy. probably sleep though superbowl. later

The first phase roof is from the farming years so it is a different profile. Time to renew it. So I am replacing all but the new living room, but I can pay extra to renew that as well, The shop will stay orange. Would you change the color?

good morning. couldn’t sleep ( again) so I thought id check in. moms ok, but her hemoglobin? is ok, but down from last check a month ago. as for the roof, are you replaing it all, or just damaged part? does it need painted anyways? is the settlement enough to fix it, can you repair it yourself n pocket whats left over? alan, jean have a good day. oh, we are having a January- february week. a few degrees either side of freezing, cloudy n gloomy. later

Thanks for the update Charlie, Alan said he had sent you a reply but I see he did not. Always having to babysit him. It is now above freezing here and having to remove the slushy stuff as we are breaking through on our driveway. There was just so much snow this winter, but I think we are through the worst of it. The windstorm that hit us in October resulted in a $40,000 insurance claim. I guess I am getting a new roof put on the house. Any ideas as to what colour, should I stay with orange as… Read more »

Hi Judy, don’t count us out yet, if we end up with a couple of weeks off and a vehicle with operational AC, we may make the trip.

If you all don’t receive a “Save the Date” invite within a week, let me know and we’ll recheck the addresses, etc. Hoping to see some of you but understand the difficulty of getting here…All is well here and we are gearing up for the end of a long winter-Grandma Goettemoeller is doing good and she remains cheerful. Charlie keeps her up to date with z-nation and naked survivor shows-not kidding-Love you all

Just got the wedding invitation in the mail. July 20th. Make sure the AC in your truck is working before you take off, or that may not be an enjoyable trip. Right Angie, mom?

I heard corbins getting MARRIED in July!!!!! Congrats Corbin! Dane and I are talking about trying to make it down. Make sure we get an invite! We can’t be more excited for you guys!
