Mary K. Mishler, Goshen, IN Mary K. Mishler (Dorsa) I hope to be at your memorial service for your Mom/Grandmother but I have been ill with the flu or a very nasty cold. On memory I want to share with you took place when your parents were on the farm. Your Mom was a very creative soul; she could fix anything she put her mind to. She had a little lamb that needed extra strength in its legs. She had a plan. She made a little harness, put it on the lamb and hung her invention over the clothes-line. The lambs feet barely touched the ground. Then when the lamb tried to walk it exercised its legs. Cute to see and a life-saver for the lamb.
