To the family, you have my sincere condolences. When someone falls asleep in death (Ecclesiastes 9: 5,10) the memories we have of them become our most precious treasure. May those memories comfort you as well as Gods promise at John 6:40.

Dear Hansi, Ricky, Tammy, Barb & family,
I am so sorry for your loss. I love the picture of your mom it captures her smile & her spirit. Your parents always made me feel like family. Whenever I made it home to Bennett Street, your mom asked about each of my children and was also interested in my life. I know she cared. Then of course she would catch me up on all of you and her wonderful grandchildren!!
Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers. I wish I could be there- hugs to all.
Love, Marie
