Peg, Carol, and Charlene: I'm sorry we can't see you during this sad time. Your Mom was a special lady. I remember coming out to your house to swim as a teenager, and it was nice to see her during holidays through the years. You are in my prayers. Marian Wilt

Charlene, Peg and Carol,
I have fond memories of your mother and her spaghetti sauce that she cooked all day. She was always so kind and I know you’ll miss her a great deal.
