Dear Chioles Family,
I was saddened to hear about the passing of your mom. I have many memories of working with her at Gale Street Inn. One that stands out...your mom would throw money on the floor so Darnell(kitchen help) would find it when he swept in the morning. What a great lady!! My condolences.
Sincerely, Jim Szymaszek

Dear George & Family,
We were so sorry to hear of Joan passing.
We had some really fun days at Lucy Flower High School. She was a shining star. I know you will miss her very much.
