I just want to let you boys know how wonderful your Mom was. When my Mom, Della O'Brien move into New Haven she was terrified but your Mom was a constant companion to her and helped her make the tradition to assisted living. And when I visited Mom I always looked forward to seeing your Mom too. she was so awesome! and what a piano player! Thank you so much for your lovely mother.

David and John, I worked on your mom's first campaign when she first ran for the school board. She was devoted, honest, and unafraid of any challenges. I have many great memories of time spent with her.

Dear David and John ...
Noting your mother's passing took me way back to the idyllic days of our early youth in Saxonburg. I remember her well, as a devoted, good mother and a gifted, devoted Christian musician. While the years have not enabled our paths to re-cross, know that you all are being remembered as you mourn your mother's departure for her Heavenly home and celebrate with good memories of times shared in your earthly years together. My prayers are for peace and the reminder of Christ's promises for those who've loved Him. Your mom was and is certainly one of His beloved.
