ODETTE VIVIENNE SPAETGENS July 30, 1920 - October 15, 1997 That wonderful
day in '62 when Odette came into our lives from her exciting past (about
which I have written a lot in earlier memoriams) she instantly became a
loving mother to my four nice kids (3, 5, 7, 10), made the house into a warm
home. She and I fell in love a few monts later. Odette became a marvelous
cook quickly, a very superb hostess, clothes designer, interior designer,
gardener, wall-paper designer and hanger! More importantly she was a loving,
faithful wife who prayed for me and my career often. God had abundantly
blessed her - and through her - my children and I. We are very thankful for
her. _ TED and FAMILY
