Barbara and Susan,
So sorry for the loss of your mother. I have fond memories of her from the days at "the garage" and when our parents partied together. I always enjoyed sharing dog stories with her. My best to both of you. Karen (Rehrauer) McFadzen

Dear Barb and Susie, I am simply heartbroken at the loss of my lifelong best friend. I cannot remember a time when she was not a part of my life, and it is like a part of me is gone. But it is a comfort to know that I have 84 years of memories to look back on. My sincere sympathy to you both. Love, Rosemary

I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. I just met your mom a week ago at Meadow View and she was the sweetest lady. I am sorry I won't get the chance to know her better. My mom has just moved to Meadow View and your mom was one of the First Ladies to welcome her.

On behalf of Hazel Flanagan, a resident of MeadowView, we would like to express our deepest sympathy on your Mom's passing. Hazel found a kindred spirit in LaVerne, whether it was in playing cards or the late night visits when neither of them could sleep. She will be missed very much! Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.
