I enjoyed your Mother's participation in our West Seattle Senior Center Enhance Fitness Class for many years. It was a joy to be her teacher. She and the other students had a lot of fun.

Marlis, Scott and Susan, Your Mom and Dad were such good friends of Dad and Lavina's - she was always so sweet and kind. I know what it's like to lose both parents - you don't stop missing them, but are grateful they're with all their dear friends in heaven. Hope I can get to the service on Friday.
Blessings,

I'm so sorry Marlis, Scott and Susan. Your mother was such a wonderful, kind, soft-spoken person. My mother can't come to the service, but I'm planning to attend. It is so heartbreaking.
