My condolences to the family. I hadn't been in touch with the family for years, but JoAnn and I started kindergarten together and remained friends. I hope that the family will find comfort in their memories. My thoughts are with you.

My Mother-in-law for 20 plus years. I'll always think of you in loving ways.
You taught me how to make the best pot roast and the best gravy and don't forget "slumgulleon"
I love you.
