Ginny and family,
I am deeply saddened by your loss, and my heart goes out to you all. My prayer for each of you is that over time your mother's love and the many years of rich memories will far outweigh your present, inevitable sorrow. GOD Bless.

Deepest sympathies on the passing of your Mom and Grandma. Joan was so thoughtful and kind to us. She called us before Christmas and we really appreciated how she always reached out and was so positive. We'll remember her adventurous trip on Bart and visit to us when we lived in Sausalito on a houseboat. She had a warm and fun spirit. Our hearts are full. Peggy and Ed

John, Paul, Ann, Ginny and Billy and your families, I am so saddened to learn of your dear mom's passing. She was one of the warmest, fun, spunkiest woman I have ever known. When Tim and Michelle were little, I lived near you all in Rockville and loved spending time with her and Jack . I will always hold close to my heart our long phone conversations over the years. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers during this tough time for you all. Blessings and love, your cuz Barb.

Dear Rutledge family.
It is with great sadness to read in the
newspaper of your dear mother passing away.
I worked with your mother in Bloomingdales and also have been part of the Bloomingdales lunch group, which she created after retiring which
she named THE FABS.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time of sorrow.
