After retiring and selling the business, Siggy and Mary moved to Albuquerque to be close to their granddaughters. Restless in retirement, he found work with National Car Rental as a part-time driver. He loved working at National because of the friends he made there and for the opportunity to see the southwest. He retired from National at the age of 85. After his second retirement, Siggy loved to play a little poker, enjoyed watching the Buffalo Bills and made an occasional trip to the casinos. Throughout his life Siggy was known for his integrity, his honesty and his values. He was a guiding light, and he will be missed.

Her love for traveling took her coast to coast in her motor home. She loved to pass the big 18-wheelers and was forever wanting to stop and pick up every tree and flowers she saw to take home and make it grow. Private family services and interment have taken place at Sunset Memorial Park, 924 Menaul Blvd. NE. Please join us for sharing wonderful memories at a Celebration of Life on Saturday, February 21, 2004, at 9:00 a.m., at Redeemer Lutheran Church, 210 Alvarado Drive SE (256-5718), with Pastor Charles Treadwell officiating. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Lovelace Sandia Hospice, 5403 Gibson Blvd. SE, Siesta Hills #1, 87108; to Alzheimer's Association of New Mexico, 8100 Mountain Rd. NE, Suite 102, 87110; or to your favorite charity or church. Marty, her devoted companion of 48+ years cared for Mom and Dad in the most loving dedicated way that one could hope for. Marty will deeply miss her as this loss leaves a void in her life. Our family thanks her from the bottom of our hearts for these many years of loving care. Her loving caregivers, Tillie, Victoria, Lillia, Gabriela and Anna made a huge difference in her quality of life. Victoria helped to ease and comfort Reba through these past weeks with her loving massages of soothing lavender. Gabriela was fondly known as Gabby to Mom. Anna always took Mom and puppy, Noel to church. She and Mom made all the flowers for the tables for Tom and Sharie's February 14, 2003, wedding celebration. Tillie traveled extensively with Reba, Tom and Sharie and proved to be Reba's guardian angel over the past three years. They all made a difference in her life. The family is grateful for all the love, support and prayers extended during this very difficult time. French Mortuary 7121 Wyoming Blvd. NE 823-9400
