Grandmother Will Live On In Arguments Over Her Wedding China

WAUKESHA, WI—Although Sophia Burnhardt, matriarch of the extended Burnhardt clan, died last week, family sources confirmed that her memory will live on for years in arguments over her wedding china. “That Wedgwood tureen should come to me, since I would always help her with her taxes,” Burnhardt’s daughter-in-law Lois Burnhardt said at the memorial service Monday. “She loved her tea service, too,” added Burnhardt’s daughter Carol Harrigen, “which should stay within my family, since we visited her in Arizona when no one else would.” A family spokesperson announced in a Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel remembrance note that Burnhardt would never truly die as long as her china maintained its luster.
