Jim and Janice,
My sincere sympathies at this time of sorrow. Mabel was such a delightful lady. Pr. Meyer and I would "fight" over who got to visit her because of the plate of delicious and wonderful treats she would send us home with. I always enjoyed our visits together. She had the most spoiled bird, Petey, the parakeet who lacked for no toy in his cage, how she kept her cane in the kitchen where it would be "safe," and her large bell collection. God has welcomed a sweet, sweet lady into heaven. May you always hold her close in your hearts and know she is at home with God.

Jim,Jancie,Don,Nancy&Families,
Will keep you in my prayers. I will remember the coffee times at the Red Rooster and all the times we met in her room to watch tv, talk and share all her goodies. She was a very sweet lady and always so much fun. May the Lord be with you all. Barb Kyhl
