Bill, Mary Ellen, Jane and Jim, there never seems to be the right words at the time of losing a loved one. Your mom was a special neighbor and friend to our family. She was a good little cook and enjoyed sharing that with others around her. But our thoughts and prayers are with all of you and we all have fond memories of your mom. Your mo
loved each of you in a very special way. May the Lord give you renewed strength each day.
