Teresa & Family
I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your Mother. I have many fond memories of her in my childhood years and later years when she took care of my Great Aunt & Uncle (Paul & Talma Switzer). I ride down Forest Hill often looking at the houses and reliving some of my childhood. May you too find some comfort in all the memories you have of your Mom. I hope those memories will give you the strength you need to get through the days ahead. Thinking of you all

Dear Johnny, Tim and Teresa,
We look forward to being with you Friday and Saturday. I remember fondly the visits I had on Sundays after my mother's death with Zeb and Mary and all of you. I felt the warmth of an extended family and will always be grateful for that. May Mary rest in peace with no more suffering. May the Peace of Christ be with you all now and forever.

Love,
Joan and Bob and family

ur Mother is the only person with a mention of having been at St. Joseph's Villa. Later, in time. Feel free to contact me and perhaps we can talk/exchange on St. Joseph's Villa. They gave Mother such a fine preparation for living. I own her tiny prayer book and it is a treasure. Deepest condolescence to your family. I am whom, I say I am and am listed in the Roanoke phone book. Most of the time, I am in the DC area. Mary Ann Sink Barnes
