Judy, so sorry to read of your moms passing. I am so fortunate to have just celebrated my moms 100th, but I know my time is coming when I have to give her back to God. Be comforted that she is now in Gods arms and smiling down on you today and always.

I am saddened to learn of the passing of Mrs. Theis. She was a beautiful, gracious, giving lady who always made time for others. Her smile was reassuring and warm. She seemed like a fixture at York School ~ one of the dedicated mothers who was ever-willing to give her all for the sake of the children. Remembering each of you with sympathy and prayers.
