Dear Alice Jo, Judy, and Linda,
Hearing of your mother's passing brought a flood of wonderful memories of your family and growing up. I especially remember Izzy's homemade baked bean casseroles that were served at so many picnics. I hope you find some comfort knowing that your Mom was a special person to others as well.

Dear Linda, Judy, and Alice Jo,
I am sorry to hear of your Mom's passing but am fortunate to have wonderful memories of she and your Dad. Just thinking of them and the fun times we shared as neighbors makes me smile, and always will. I believe Isabelle and John are enjoying each other's company, immensely, right now and forever. It is a privilege to carry their memory. God bless you. Gus

Dear Alice Jo, Judy and Linda,
I am sorry I was out of town at the time of the viewing, I would of liked to see all of you after all these years. Even though your Mom is no longer physically with us, she will live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved her.
