She passed on our anniversary. Always to be remembered for the kindness she showed us and so many others. The cards she sent to us when our son passed and periodically afterwards always with a short note inside brought a smile to our faces

Nancy and Charlie-sorry to hear about your mom Nancy. I had the honors of meeting both your parents just a couple years ago when I moved into their neighborhood. Everytime I would drive by their house, your mom always waved. I will think of both your parents everyday when I go by. Thinking of both you and Charlie. Your mom and dad are back together. God Bless, Sandra Schleappi

Robert and I will be praying for your family. I know you are/were loved by all who knew you! Your love flowed from you in all you did and said. I know you will be remembered and missed by all.... But I also know you loved the Lord. So you are rejoicing with (our) your Lord and Savior right now. And doing it PAIN FREE!
We will meet again someday!
To the family: If there is anything we can do; anything you need. We are here and willing to help.
Love Robert and Faye F
