Suzanne, so sorry to hear of your mother's passing. I know she felt more comfortable there with you than several miles away. I felt like I have known her what, since 1961. I was always very careful to be on my best behavior when I visited and did so often, for a long time didn't I ? I'm thankful she facilitated our comings and goings after graduation I thought by then she might have even liked me, Ha. We all know they are in a better place now and that is a good feeling. Your friend, Jay

We love you, Mother. We are already missing you so very much. But, we know that we will see you & Daddy again someday. "If we could see you now, we know you are standing straight and tall - all pain finally gone." You fought the good fight, and we will forever admire you for that and many other things.

Sandra and Suzanne, your sweet mother was an inspiration to me. She always had an uplifting word or bible verse for me when I visited. My prayers are with you all. Love Debbie
