Sharon, Liz & George- I was sorry to learn of your mother's passing. I was amazed when I saw her obituary, because when shopping 10 days ago I had a "flashback" about all of us, years ago, working for Bryan Baker. I hope that the love & support of your family and friends carries you during your sorrow.
Warm regards, Steve Smith ([email protected])

We were so lucky to have had the opportunity to get to know Ms. Hing and call her our friend. We looked forward to seeing her come in to the salon. She was so kind and generous. I enjoyed talking to her. She always had a tip for a new restaurant to try. We will miss her greatly. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family.

Dear Lynda and Dale,
We are so sorry to hear about the passing of Lynda's mom! From the bottom of our hearts we wish you an extra portion of everything you need right now. We are with you both and Lynda's siblings in our hearts, thoughts and prayers.
May you get a lot of comfort in knowing, that you both were just wonderful daughter and son in law. We always admired very much, what you did for her. You both really did a great job and were a super example!
Thinking of your Mom brings up a lot of just wonderful and happy memories to us. We will ever be thankful to her for all her shopping-support :) we experienced by her. That was just always really extraordinary! We also love to remember her visits here in Riedt and our gatherings in the US. We will just cherish all these wonderful memories in our hearts.
Dear Lynda and Dale, we wish you both a lot of strength and comfort for these intensive days.
With all our love and a hearty hug from both of us,
Irène and Martin
