Amber, Shawn, Bridget, and Mrs. Metzler:
I was so sorry to hear about your loss. I never met her, but the obituary described her as a lovely person and I was reminded of my own grandmother, whom I also miss. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort. Ginny and Doc were good friends and I will miss Ginny as I do Doc. We spent many afternoons talking over the back fence we shared. May God bless each you in your loss.

We are sorry to hear about the passing of Virginia. Virginia and Doc were great friends of my mom and dad (Thayer & Alice Morris). She was a wonderful woman. Always with a kind word for everyone. We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.

Please accept my sincere sympathy at this time of your sorrow. Ruth Perdue Traficanti
