Aunt Teal,

You would have been proud of the send off your family gave you this past weekend. All of your fifteen kids made it in to town to say goodby. Of course we had to have some cheer after the service on Friday and Saturday as we normally do. I'm sure you were looking down on us with the rest of the family up there by your side. Watch over and protect us. Love you high as the sky deep as the ocean. Till we meet again.

Mary was a fantastic nurse and caregiver. She was a great support to me. My family will miss her. My children remember her fondly as "Mary Winkle" and remember the New Year's Eve parties she had for all her nieces and nephews and invited my children to join them. She will always hold a very special place in my heart.
Mary you and your family are in my prayers.

For Teals Family,
I have known Teal for 14 years where we were both lived at the Claremount. I visited her about 10 days ago. Teal was that very special lady I will never forget.I am so sorry for your loss.

I'm so sorry to hear of Teals' passing. She was a good friend of my parents, Mary and Dick Yeskoot, who have also passed. She was a wonderful person. She helped me out with my mom when she was ill, (They both lived at the Clarmont.) and I will never forget that. My thoughts and prayers are with you now. Remember she will always be in your heart(s).

Donny & Family - We are saddened to know that your beloved Teal has passed away. Heaven has received a beautiful angel this week. Together you are one of the closest, strongest families that we know and from your love and dedication to each other you will find strength to get you through this difficult time.

Your Aunt Teal was one of the coolest senior citizens we know! Her youthful attitude made for great conversations. We looked forward to seeing her at your family gatherings. Our first memory of meeting her was at a Bills game...freezing cold outside of course. But she warmed us instantly with her laughter and her enthusiasm for the day we were sharing with her.

Our prayers are with all of you.

Love you high as the sky, deep as the ocean. You will be remembered forever in our hearts. Go Bills!
