Tom, Becky & Family,
No matter the circumstances it's always difficult to separate from our loved ones. The silver lining is the strength of the legacy they leave behind, to your Mom I would say "job well done".

Jim, Tom, and Pat...Our prayers and sympathy go out to you as you deal with the passing of your wonderful mother. How lucky we were to have had her as our next-door neighbor for 50 years! She was the model of elegance, beauty, strength, kindness, strong Christian faith, a devoted wife, and a mother who dearly loved her children and grandchildren. She carried her life's burdens uncomplainingly, and we never saw her without a smile on her beautiful face, nor heard unkind words from her lips. Women like her are few and far between. May God bless you and all those who loved Mary.
