Joyce and Betty,

My heart is heavy and my eyes are misty as I write this. I just found out from Arnold about your mom. I have so many fond memories of Ms. Misher (and Mr. Gus) and the wonderful times we shared growning up on Hanson Avenue with Ms. Speller keeping an eye on all of us kids on the street chastising us if necessary if we did anything wrong. Those were the good old days! Ms. Misher will always hold a very special place in my heart because when our mom died, she showed her love and concern for me, Evelyn, Maurice, and Arnold making sure we were ok whenever she would see us. I am forever grateful that she was around, and for the kindness and concern that she showed to us when our mom died. She was truly a wonderful lady and I will never forget her and what she meant to all of us on Hanson Avenue. I, along with Evelyn and Arnold want to express our sincerest condolences to you all and the entire family. I know you will miss her deeply, but I hope you find peace in knowing that she is now resting in the arms of God. God bless you all. Keep in touch.

Betty and Joyce. I was truly saddened to hear of the passing of your Mother. However, I count it a blessing that God allowed her to be here for 94 years! I pray God will continue to give you strength to press on and that He will continue to watch over, bless, and keep you all in His loving care.

Mama it was very difficult for me to look for your name in the obituary section of the paper. I am sorry but I miss you so very much. We have always been together. But, thank God you are free from pain, you will suffer no more! Mama I love you. Thanks mama for the life we shared, thanks for walking the walk and talking the talk as a Godly Woman. Thanks for some great memories. Love you, now take your rest.
