Dear Lisa and Lynn,
Some of my earliest and best memories as a young girl are from your house. My favorite is when Lisa and I hid Lucky in the mailbox and waited for the mailman to come and put the mail in the box. We waited behind bushes giggling. We did a lot of giggling in those days! I was so saddened to hear about the loss of your mother. She was very dear to all who knew her and I know you both will miss her terribly. Lisa, if there is anything I can do, a shoulder or an ear or...

Lyn -
My mother showed me the obit of your mother today and i just wanted to say how sorry i am for your loss. I remember her as always upbeat and with a smile on her face.

I met your Billie after Harvey passed away. She's a wonderful lady and will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to your family during this most difficult time.

I knew and admired your sweet mother many, many years ago. Your family lived on State Street right next to mine and I believe it was you, Lyn who we (my mom Mary Tews and I) came to visit when you were just a new-born. I still remember what a tiny little one you were and how sweetly you were cradled in your mother's arm. It was probably my first realization of how much a mother loves her little one. I couldn't have been much more than 5 or 6 years but I still remember the moment and visits...

Lisa and family,
I am so sorry to hear that your beloved mother passed away this week.
As you know, Billie and I met briefly in Kinkos and she was drawn to my beautiful son, from Guatemala. Opening the conversation, I could tell whe was a lady of grace and great stature in her world. She had such a charming way about her. And as you know, we met from that encounter. Though our friendship is but brief in time, I feel that the Lord used your mother to allow our paths to cross. What a...

Lisa and Lyn:
I'm so sorry your mom died. She always had such a wonderful smile and a warm heart. I will remember her for that, most of all.
I am unable to attend the service, but please let me know if you need anything. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

With love,

Lyn and Lisa,

Ricky and I are sad that we can not be with you today. We are so thankful to have known your mother. She was a wonderful lady and she loved our baby "Kim". We will always remember having Christmas dinner at your house last year. We so enjoyed visiting with Grammy and listening to her wonderful stories. We just wanted you to know that your family is in our prayers.

I am so sorry to see that your mother passed away. She always had a beautiful smile and was so pleasant to be with. She was an outstanding secretary and she could remember almost all the people who called our office. My prayers our with you at this time. Sincerely, Jim Lundquist, retired from AG Edwards.

Lisa and Lyn,

John and I are so sorry for your loss. I had the privilege of knowing your mother for 32 years and I must say that she was a wonderful mother for you and great example for all of us. She was steadfast in her faith and love of her family. I always enjoyed my visits with her and was saddened to learn of her deteriorating health in these past few months. I know that things have been difficult for all of you and we have been keeping you close in our thoughts and prayers....
