Not sure what to say?

Marcia,
We have fond memories of your mother and all the times singing in the choirs she directed at Lebanon.
Sorry for your loss.

Hi Bob & Marcia, Donna just called and let me know that Corinne had passed away. I'm so sorry to hear this. It's amazing how well our memories keep in touch with the old neighborhood and such good neighbors too. I still remember baby-sitting with Stewart and how much fun we had. My deepest sympathies to you and your family.

Hello Marcia, I found out about Corrine from John, Lebanon's treasurer. I am so sorry. I remember Corinne from my earliest memories at Lebanon (also another very early memory was of us children sitting outside your house in the car, when mom/dad were picking up or dropping off watches to be fixed.) Please e-mail me or call me with an address. I would like to send a card and memorial.

Dear Marcia,
I have such great memories of your Mom - like teaching us to sing in junior choir. Like all kids, I'm sure we gave her a hard time. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Cory and baby Anna

Cory, you were the finest and most wonderful Grandmother, (and Mother-in-law), that a child of any age could have ever had. In my 20s, you were as much a Mother to me as my own Mother was. Thank you for that and for everything. I love you.
