Dear Nancy, Bernard,and Family,
Your loss is shared by so many as the news ripples through the community and beyond. I especially share your loss. Memories abound. Your parents, as my Godparents and my parents' best friends, remain a cherished part of life.
Your Mom instilled a work ethic, a moral compass and so much more in all who knew, respected and admired her. Her Pekingese dogs, award-winning flower gardens, distinct accent,and the ever-present coffee pot combine with other favorite memories as a backdrop in remembering your Mom, a most charming, beautiful lady!
Her faith and spirituality sustained her. We take comfort in knowing she now is with her Lord and his sweet Mother. God's blessings to you!

I was her dental assistant . I so looked forward to seeing her. I truly loved her.We had long talks about our family . We shared our experinces of happiness and sadness . She was a very strong and proud Lady! My prayers and deepest sympathy for her family as I know she will be greatly missed. About 5 years ago , she asked my to be at her funeral when her time came. I didn't want to hear that kind of talk. But she gave me a big smile and hug and told me she would be alright. I will honor her wish. I will truly miss her.
