ALZHEIMER'S...The ThiefA thief came awhile back and slowly took our Mother away. He didn 't do it all at once, but by pieces every day.At first we hardly noticed and sometimes even smiled. "Oh, she's just gett ing older," we told ourselves, our long suit was denial. The haunted lo ok for what once was the searching, asking, pacing, the thief had all t he cards in hand, with time against Mom racing. Mom tried her best with wh at she had, and Lord knows we did too, but the thief just took control a nd stole each bit of her we knew. But now that hard battle's over, and Mom 's resting in her final Home. God made the thief give back to us The Moth er we had known.

Obituary:
APPLETON - The family of an Appleton woman killed in a hit-and-run crash in New Jersey this week is devastated.
Lori Coenen, 46, was found by police on a Glassboro, N.J., roadway at about 12:30 a.m. Wednesday. She suffered fatal injuries after she was struck by her boyfriend's pickup truck. Police have not said if Coenen was walking on the roadway when she was killed or if she died trying to get out of the pickup truck.
Lisa Wolfgram, Coenen's sister, said family members are struggling to cope with her sudden loss. Coenen leaves behind three children: Kurtis White, 27; Stephanie Meulemans, 20; and Keyarra Meulemans, 7.
"This is just an awful, awful, cruel way to lose her," Wolfgram said.
Coenen was in New Jersey visiting her boyfriend, 46-year-old Scott Jahnel of Pickerel, Wis., who travels the country working for a commercial construction company and was working in New Jersey at the time of the crash. Wolfgram said Coenen took long weekend trips to visit Jahnel whenever she could.
Coenen was a certified nursing assistant and was taking classes through Rasmussen College to become a registered nurse. She was employed at Willow Lane Assisted Living in Appleton.
"She was on the dean's list every semester, which she was very proud of," Wolfgram said.
One of Coenen's favorite pastimes was riding her Harley-Davidson motorcycle. Wolfgram said her sister loved The Grateful Dead, and visited the site of Woodstock in White Lake, New York, the day before she died.

"She was just a very free-spirited girl. She would give her heart, her sleeve, anything to anybody to help them," Wolfgram said. "She was always there for many of us.
"The biggest thing we are going to hang onto is her laugh - she had a very contagious laugh."
Family and friends started a GoFundMe page Thursday to raise money for funeral expenses. Coenen did not have life insurance.
Memorials can also be dropped off in-person at any Fox Communities Credit Union branch or mailed to Fox Communities Credit Union, P.O. Box 6, New London, WI 54961. Checks should be made out to Kurtis P. White or Stephanie Meulemans, Coenen's two eldest children.

As of 1 p.m. Friday, the GoFundMe campaign raised nearly $800 of its $10,000 goal.
Funeral services for Coenen have not been scheduled.
Glassboro police are investigating the crash.
According to a statement released by the Glassboro Police Department, Jahnel left the scene of the crash, but returned a short time later. He told police Coenen jumped from his pickup truck and was struck.
Jahnel has been charged with driving while intoxicated, leaving the scene of a fatal crash and endangering an injured victim. He is in custody at the Salem County Jail. His bail was set at $100,000.
