Marlene and Jay,

What a very nice memorial yesterday. Gary did a nice job - I learned some things about Inett that I didn't know previously. I think your mother would have liked that we had some laughs. And, that is what I'll miss most - her hearty laugh. I can hear it now!

Marlene,
I will always remember your Mother as a sweet and kind person. When I started to work in the "CPI" department, I loved talking with her - her kind smile and her laughter were always such a delight. She is in my prayers.

Jay and Marlene,

Your mother was so dear to me. Such a kind, sweet, funny woman. I last saw her in July when I went with Mom to their monthly luncheon. God bless you two and comfort you.
