Our heartfelt sympathy to the entire Ball family that extends far and wide. Aunt Jo, and Uncle Bob, meant the world to my parents. Both took them under their wings, as a young family building a new life on Longbeach Lane. Looking back, their encouragement and tremendous help in getting them established in the community, is rarely seen by others in this day and age. No job was too big or too small to lend a hand. From literally building our home from the ground up, to teaching my mom to sew, to child care when needed, to sharing meals, to Lake Erie Beach firehall “shindigs” ......the list goes on and on. We are so fortunate for friends such as them. They are still with us. They live on in our hearts, our thoughts and prayers. This is one of my favorite reflections by Khalil Gibran......When you are sorrowful, look again in your heart, and you shall see, that in truth, you are weeping for that which has brought you delight. Love, Maryanne (Bauerlein) and Jim Rasey
