Dear Bordie, Bernie, Booty, Pat, Michael and Tony,

Your dear mother (and father) welcomed me into your home as a little child, and I will always have fond memories of her. I always loved how your father would whistle for everyone to come home from playing outside to the dinner table. I also loved how your mother would prepare Sunday breakfast as well as get herself ready for church. I treasure the memories I have in my heart of your mother and your family.

Love,
Trish (Rados) Roberson

Dear Deane Family, What a shock when read of Margaret's passing in today's paper. I know that she had not called me in a long time. She was my God Mother and my friend for over 50 years and I loved her like a Mom. i think, with her passing, is the last of the old "Turkey Thicket" group. You have my sincerest sympathy. Love Martha Izaguirre
