Sue,Jim and Scott,
I have very fond memories of our family's doing things together; Dorney Park, watching a metor show with your Mom and sledding with your Dad. Many years later your Mom and my Mom became even closer and shared a love for each other that helped my Mom in her later years of life. I know that those two are laughing together with all their loved ones who have also passed; especially about my Mom leaving all those dimes for us to find after she died.
Love Terry Fry

Life...so fragile, Loss...so sudden, Heart...so broken. We will all miss our dear cousin Nancy. She was the "glue" holding us all together. When we needed to talk, she listened. When we were troubled, she hugged and prayed for us. When we faced other family losses she offered gentle kindness. Even as a child she took care of all the younger ones, she nurtured with matronly devotion. So many fond memories.
Tommy, Sue Ellen, Jimmy, Scotty
We'll be pryaing for all of you. We hope time will ease the pain you feel in your hearts today.

My mom has a friend in heaven...I will always remember how 'cool' I thought your mom was, she had the best laugh. It's so hard to find comfort with such a huge loss but these words someone sent me help me at times ~This life is not over. A sequel stands beyond. Invisible as music... but positive as sound~ You and your family are in my prayers. Love, Paulette
