I'm so sad to lose this wonderful, sweet lady. We were both so happy to finally become mother-and-daughter-in-laws in June. I can hardly believe we ran out of time so suddenly.

My heart goes out to Aunt Charlotte, Aunt Margaret, Kathy, and my dear husband, Bill. This is such a devastating loss and I wish God's healing and peace for you during this difficult time.

My Dear Charlotte: Although I did not know your sister, Bernice, I wanted you to know I'm thinking of you at this difficult time for your family. It has been many years since I've seen you, but through them all, I've thought of you many times. Please know Jack and I send our warmest wishes and hope that time will help ease the pain we know you must feel.
With love, Hallett Mengel Luscombe

Dear Bill,

I don't know if you remember me but I sat next to you in high school band.

I was saddened to read your mother's obit in the print edition of today's El Paso Times. She did my taxes for many years and I always enjoyed our yearly visits. She was always so proud of you and Kathy and spoke so highly of you and all your accomplishments. She was a dear woman and I am so sorry for your loss.

May the precious memories of your sweet and kind mother get you through the difficult days ahead. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
