Not sure what to say?





Sue & Jeff, I am deeply sorry to have just found this. I am your mother's first cousin. I attended her wedding (too young to go to reception. She was a beautiful bride! We corresponded for so many years. I helped her fill in some of the blanks about her mother's family (Cullen). Though she remained in close touch with our aunt Peggy. We hadn't been in touch these last few years & I blame myself for that. She was always so proud of you both and of being a grandmother as well as her whole family. She offered kindness, understanding & wisdom through my complaints & ordeals so often. I will truly miss not hearing from her again and pray she is at peace. She led a fulfilling life filled with such love for her whole family always. All my sincerest (late) condolences to you both and to Marie & your family.

I am so sorry for your loss. She was a great friend for many years with Rock bottom show. She made us laugh while the endless rehearsals kept us there for hours. A great teacher and proof reader of my college English papers. Sh will be missed by all.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Mrs Wager was my 8th grade English teacher in 1978 at West Junior. She was a great educator. She had a great sense of humor and gave it right back to the class if they gave her grief. She was also kind enough to pass me by the skin of my teeth. A great person that will surely be missed and never forgotten.

My thoughts and prayers are with the family. Mrs.Wager was my 8th grade English teacher. She is the reason I have such a love for reading. She was my favorite English teacher. I have run into her many times over the years and always enjoyed talking about what we were currently reading and our grandchildren. I was saddened to hear of her passing. Hold your memories close to your heart. They will help in your time of sadness. Colleen (Moriarity) Eberly
