Susan, Mike and Family,

We were so sorry to hear of the passing of your grandmother, but were thankful to know so we could pray for your peace and comfort. I know she will be missed, but she has surely gone to a better place and has left a precious memory with each of you. May God give you healing and strength as you go through this....blessings to you all!

Susan, Debbie and Mike: Very sorry about your loss. From all of your stories your grandmother was a grand lady, sorry that I didn't know her better. Hope you all are doing O.K. If I can do anything please don't hesitate to ask. Take care.

To the Family:
I'm Linda Wine and I was Mrs. Throckmorton's hairdresser for many years. She was a sweet and caring lady. I know each of you will miss her greatly. May God keep each of you close to him during these hard times.

To Ray...
Although I did not personally know your Mother, I know of your devotion to her and your strong faith in God. These 2 things alone will most likely insure a place in heaven for her because surely God takes care of those who take care of each other. I know she will always be in your heart on a daily basis.

Your friend,
Michael Zell
