Becky, Betty and Billy,
My deepest sympthy in the loss of your mother. I have such fond memories of growing up in the neighborhood, all us kids playing together and coming to the Walker Store. And never forget the summer when we were barely "teens" that Becky was driving and took us to Fairy Stone Park.
Your mother was such a sweet person and will be missed: but know in your heart she is in a much better place.
Hold on to all the great memories.

Betty,Becky,and Billy,
I hated to see this,Mabel was one of my fondest memories from my childhood. Ispeak of it often! I still remember the smell of her house when we walked in( The smell of cake )! I think she was probably one of my angels that appeared to me in my lifetime. Alot of time has passed and alot of people have come and gone. Sandy and I were very young when Mabel babysat us, but she truly made a very positive impression on me that I shall never forget!
