Not sure what to say?

Hi Mom, I'm thinking of you and missing you quite often these days. Right now, I am thinking of all the costumes you showed me how to create for my dolls, my friends, and my Halloween birthdays, plus years in the Ballet Guild of the Lehigh Valley, and Christian Drama School of New Jersey. I remember all the costumes you made for your ballroom dance group with Dad, and my college events. Right now, I am directing the play "God's Flood" again for Christian Drama School's Summer Drama Camp. ...

Kim, Randy, & family,
I recently learned of your mother's passing and was deeply saddened. She was indeed a class act. Your parents and mine were such good friends. I have many fond memories of her...She gave me a wrist corsage with a sugar cube on it for my "sweet 16". I recently found the pictures of the lovely bridal shower she gave for me, complete with umbrella! I was so grateful to her for helping me to pull off the surprise 50th wedding ceremony at Christ Church for my parents,...

Kim and Mom, Easter 2012

Dear Loved Ones and Beloved Friends,

Randy and I are so very grateful to you for the many ways you have reached out to us. Your words about Mom make me smile and bring tears to my eyes. I am still deeply grieving the loss and expecting Mom to call me at any moment. I am waiting for her to tell me about the food in Heaven and how she played her last hand of bridge. I suspect she is somewhere dancing with Dad. I am grateful to God for the great love and friendship you all shared with Mom...

Dear family members and friends of my mother,
Thank you all for the kind words and thoughts you have expressed in this guest book and in the cards and emails you have sent, and by those of you who were able to attend her funeral on July 18. It is most gratifying to my sister and me that so many people think so highly of our mother, as we do, too.
I was made aware of some things in her obituary. Omitted was her graduation from Harris Teachers College in St. Louis with a bachelor's degree...

Dear Kim and Randy, Peg and I were so sorry to learn of Clara Anne's passing. We were unable to get to Bethlehem for the service, but know that our prayers are with you. We invited Clara Anne to join us for dinner at the Hotel Bethlehem along with many of our Bethlehem Friends about a year ago. Clara Anne jioned us and we had a wonderful evening reliving those good times together. Love, Bill and Peg Hitzrot

Kim,Randy and Family,
Your mother was the epitome of style and grace. I remember her walking into Christ Church with you, Kim, all dressed up and classy. Our Garden Club years were memorable, then serving on the Ballet Guild Board with her and being entertained after ballet performances. I shall never forget the time we dressed in our nightwear and celebrated the marriage of Diana and Charles at 5:00 A.M. along with our beloved Marjorie Fink. As well, our daughters, will always remember...
