I am so sorry to hear about your mother passing. I can certainly remember having fun with her at Pine Acres. But, more so, I worked with her at Heywood Valley for a few years. Now that was an experience. My thoughts are with you.

Mom you are missed a lot I love watching you bake and cook and sew my clothes and the others the whole time I was learning from you but was to young to realize it some might say I'm a moms boy I say to that thank you because I learned a lot from you. I love you and miss you farewell until we meet.i love you.

To Tina Maki-Cogswell and Family: I am very sorry for your loss. May your hearts be warmed by good memories. May you feel comfort at this difficult time. Love, Heather Tamke.

Although I only met her once Connie was quite a character. She had personality and gusto. To be married 64 yrs and raise 6 kids is no easy task. Rest in peace~ Trish Clinton (Patti & Bob's friend)

Thoughts and prayers for your fsmily.
