Joan, I will always have fond memories of the time spent on Dave and Addie's boat. They owned three boats in the time that I boated with them, and your mom enjoyed them all. Carolyn and I were in Canada this week and learned of your mom's death upon returning home. Addie was a fine lady and we are sure you will miss her.

Dr. Carl--When I first saw you as a patient I wondered if you were "little Joanie". The late Dr. Boyce (my first husband) and I were friends with Addie & Dave many years ago. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I am saddened to hear of Addie's passing but she did enjoy life and was the most beautiful lady always.
I will remember her fondly.

Suzanne,
Jim just came in and told me of your Mother's death yesterday. I was so surprised since we had just been together yesterday discussing our Mom's. Please know how sorry that we are, but just like my Mom, yours is in a much better place today. She is pain free and with her family and friends that have gone before. May God and your faith keep you stong.
