Happy, Wild and Free!

My Mom finally decided to retire after 46 years of working at Germania Insurance. The whole family was there to celebrate with her!


Mom,


I am so very proud of everything you have accomplished over the years. Your dedication to your career has taught me so much! I understand that your decision to stop working was long overdue but because of you and Dad, we (Marty, Kristy and I) were given so much our entire lives. I have always looked up to you and your work ethic and hope that I have taken on your traits to dedicate my time an effort to a company as long as you have. I love you Mom and I am so glad you are finally getting the chance to be happy, wild and free!

Love,
Julie

Here's to you, Mom....
Beautiful Poem written about My Mother....by my bestie, Tracy Matthies! I gave her some of my thoughts and she ran with it! Thank you Tracy! Reading it still makes me tear up....

A young and bright lady, only age nine-teen

Took on a job with a very small team.

Her dedication to the tasks began a career

For a company that has flourished year after year.

Forty-six years later, that would be today

Paths are changing, and it’s now time to play.

The number of customers she has helped is untold

But her dedication reveals a character of gold.

From 1946 to 2010, her decision to part

May come with a heavy heart

At the same time, we pause to cheer

For a woman who earned this, that is clear.

An end of an era, now is the day

We all come together, so that we can say:

Geneva, we applaud you, celebrate with you, and say hooray!
