  1. I am so sorry for your loss. Your mom was a long-time friend of my parents, Eileen and Frank Pfnausch. They had many fun times together. Your mom always would stay in touch for years.

  2. I will never forget the first time I met you when you flew into the Asheville airport to see your new granddaughter -Fay- who had just been born. You had a sweet smile and you even picked me out before I saw you, you said -you look just like your brother.. May you find peace in the arms of our Lord Jesus Christ.
