Janice:
I'm sorry about your loss. My father passed away 4 years ago and I fully understand your sorrow. I remember your mother as a very nice and warm person and how you used to borrow her rambler when you lived on Sycamore Strret and we go out. . It seems like only yesterday, when it actually was 30 years!

Virginia, John and Janice:
We recently moved to North Carolina and read the Star-Gazette online. I was saddened to read about the passing of your mother. I lost my mother in 2006, so I know the void that you feel in your lives. One of most vivid memories of your mother was when I was 7 years old and there was a "big" baseball game in the Coyles backyard. I was hit in the head with a bat. My mother wasn't home and it was your mother who took me to the hospital and waited there with me until my mother arrived. I was very grateful and I know my parents were for your mother's care and concern. The Heights and Garfield Street have changed tremendously, but I have a lot of good memories of days gone by. My condolences to you and your families and may the memories of your mother help you through the coming days.
