Mariel "Tomi" Lind
This is the obituary I never wanted to write, the obituary I never wanted to live to tell. Tomi died on June 17, 1998. I lost the sunshine and roses, the laughter in our home. I lost the smile that lit up my life. She had gorgeous brown eyes and they were merry all the time, and they looked at you with trust and happiness. She never told a lie in her life; deceit puzzled her. She loved babies and children. Tomi was born in Anthon, Iowa, on Oct. 2, 1930. She attended Briar Cliff College in Sioux City, IA. Tomi and I were married on Valentine's Day, Feb. 14, 1953.
