Sorry to read about your mom. I remember seeing the Guebard family as we grew up at SouthWayne United Methodist Church. I ran into your mom when I worked for the City. Always a pleasure to talk to. My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family.

Steve and I were very sorry to hear about your mother's passing. I always thought of her as almost a second mother, and will always remember the friendship she and your dad had with my parents. I'll also always remember seeing color TV first at your house!

Sorry we can't come today. Your Mom was missed in the neighborhood. I so enjoyed my visits with her. She talked about her grandkids and great grandkids. We had been neighbors for 50 years. Our neighborhood is not the same without her. She will be missed.

Our thoughts and prayers to the entire family. I was Beanie and Virgil's pastor at South Wayne UMC from 1992 until 1998. They were very active and involved members of the church. It seems like whatever activity was going on they were always involved. Beanie lived a good life and will be missed, but now rests in peace.
