Dear Gary,
So sorry to hear about your Mother. There are only a few of the original Race Street families remaining as we all get older. My Mom sent me the notice from the paper, as she now resides in Florida. Remember when all of the Mom's from Race Street used to be in the PTA for the Race Street school back in the 1950's. Again, accept my deepest sympathy.

Dear Terri and family,
I was sorry to hear about your Mothers passing. She is with your Father now and is at peace. I remember how close your parents and my parents were and it is a void in our lives. Let me know if there is anything we can do, or if you just need someone to talk to. May God bless you all and your Mother.

Terri ,Rick, Gary and Families;
You have our Sympathy and Condolences on the passing of your Mother. She was my idol when we were both residents at the Nursing Home. Everyday when I saw her in the Halls in her electric chair and the way she got around, She made me that much stronger. I use to comment how good a driver she was.God Bless you all. Terri if you need anything call.
