Not sure what to say?

You will be in my heart forever dear friend. We had many fun lunches together after our trips to the doctor. I miss and think of you each time I pass Heather Hills. Love Olga

How fortunate that our paths crossed in this life. As much as I miss our time together, I am glad that you have been reunited with the family that you missed so much.
Missing you....

Petie was a close friend of my mother in law and sister in law, and we enjoyed the presence of having Petie join our family for Christmas Eve for a few years running. I am sure she enjoyed spending time away from the nursing home.
For the family, please accept my condolences, she was a great lady and lived a full long life. Many belssings!

I knew Petie for many years. In fact we first became acquainted when she and Harry started attending Immanuel Presbyterian Church. She was a wonderful worker and spent many hours at the church.

Celebrating a life well lived. We will cherish the memories forever.

Petie was such a great member of our retirement community. Her and Marty would go to all of the activities together...everyone just expected it! We enjoyed our time with her. Our prayers are with the family.
