Dear Sylvia and Jimmy
I was very sad to hear of your mother's passing. I know she suffered the last few days and I'm sorry I couldn't be more of a comfort to you then. Even though I never met her, I'm sure she was a great lady having raised a wonderful daughter like you. I thank you for the comfort you gave me during my sad time at Mercy. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Take care and all my sympathy to you and your family.

Dear Sylvia and Jimmy:

I am so sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. I never got to meet her but she must have been a very special Mom, grandmother and friend to all that knew her.

Dear Ryder Family,

Mrs. Ryder has been a life long neighbor and friend of my grandmother, Pauline Oreski. My grandmother felt like your mother was a part of her family. She absolutely adored her. I lived with my Grandmother for 19 years and it was always so nice to see Mrs. Ryder out and about in her yard. She always checked on and watched out for my grandmother. She was so kind. Now that she and my grandmother have passed, they can be together again as neighbors in heaven. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.
God Bless.
