Dear Cousins, So sorry to hear about your loss. You made your Mother's last years as good as they could be, we should all be blessed by children as devoted and kind as you are. I have fond memories of my "Aunt Bea" and wish I could share them with her --- it would make her laugh. But a picnic with the cousins (you guys) in a Philadelphia park, (Pennypack Park?), in the sizzling Summertime, and your Mom handing out the too-warm sandwiches cuddled in their wax-paper coverings...it was...

Sending prayers up for you and your family, Donna. So wonderful to know of the heavenly reunion that awaits, but so hard to say our earthly goodbyes to one so dear. Hugs to you and the entire Oerth family, Donna.

Mrs. Oerth's greatest legacy is the wonderful family she raised. Three generations of descendents have been graced with her presence in their lives. And I have been blessed with a 35-year-long friendship with her "baby," Donna Lee.
My prayers are with the Oerth family as you celebrate the passing of a dear woman who dedicated her life to being his servant to the people of God.
