Mom,words can not express or explain how much you were loved and are going to be missed. We had so much fun when you and daddy spent time with us in Amherst and your Florida visits. The special times we had on vacation with you and Diane. All our long nights sitting up until one in the morning and just talking. That was truly a very very special time for me.We never went to bed without kissing each other goodnight. Such special memories for me. Thanks Mom and Dad for everything. Love Patty and Keith

To all the girls! I want to add my personal condolences as well. As a young boy the memories of both Don and Anna Marie and our family gatherings are still crystal clear. What a Norman Rockwell painting we would have made. The examples your parents and ours offered us is the stuff of how legends are made. It was truly an honor to have known them both! God's Love,

Many hearts and prayers are with you. There is so little one can say to bring you comfort at this time, but
may it help to ease your pain and sorrow to know that so many people understand and care about your loss.
May all your precious memories bring you comfort and peace during the coming days just knowing your mom is at peace.

Charlotte, Pat and Donna. You have my sympathies for the loss of your Mom. I know what you are going through as I lost my Mom 2 years ago. Just know that she is in a better place, and she'll be waiting for you when your time comes. She must have been a wonderful Mom to have raised such wonderful daughters.

There is nothing to say except that Mom is in the best place in the world. She is with Jesus, and with the Love of Her Life. We will miss her so deeply and love her even more. We were so blessed to have the best parents in the world and now they both are in Heaven looking down on us, knowing that we all will see them soon.
Charlotte Love to you Both

What can I say except...Heaven has gained a wonderful and loving person.She was not only my mother, she was my best friend. I am so sad she is gone that my heart wants to explode, but then I can see her and dad together again and they are probably still embracing each other. I can only Imagine what she did when she saw Heaven. Wow..she is the lucky one right now. Love you Mom forever and ever.
