Dear Gordon, Gary and family. My deepest condolences on the passing of your mom. I always remember with fondness the weeks my sister and I spent with you when my own mother was so ill. She will be deeply missed. Love Carla and family
I just wanted to send my thoughts to you all,knowing most of you don’t know me..but I have quietly watched Mary participate in numerous activities as mentioned. I send you all my simpathy. She had a good life being with her family and friends over her long life. She will remain in your minds.She is at peace with her maker now!
My deepest sympathy, and I regret that I found out so much after the fact. I have many fond memories of your mom. Probably the most outstanding is the cards and Florida with my parents, Ken and Mary. It just isn’t right not seeing her now. I will miss her, and I am very sorry I wasn’t able to attend her wake. She was quite a woman.
