Not sure what to say?

Cheryl,
Don't know if you remember me but I worked with your Mom at Borg-Warner. She was a mother figure to me, saw me thru good times and bad, and I always looked up to her. She was a wonderful lady, and I will pray for all of you.

Dear Cheryl, Karen, DeeDee - my heart goes out to all of you during this time. We just visited with mom this past summer when we were in Chicago visiting our children. She was so looking foward to moving to the Lutheran Home. I'm glad that she had a short time there. And Cheryl, I know that this has to be really tough on you.

Dear Denise, Darryl, Nathan, Amy, Nels, Karen, Cheryl and the rest of the DiRago/Rish families,
Our hearts go out to you in this difficult time. We know that all of your fabulous memories of your mom/grandma will help to ease the pain of your loss. Take care of each other. We grieve with you and pray for you. May God Bless you with His Grace and may you find the strength you need at this time.
Love,

Cheryl, DeeDee and Karen - I don't know that you would remember me but I have fond memories of going to your house with my dad, Fred Piszczek, when I was younger. I'm sorry to hear about your mom. I hope you are all well. You are in my prayers.

Cheryl, Denise and Karen, it is just by chance that I saw that your mother, my old friend, has passed, and my heart is heavy. She was like a mother to me during my days at Borg-Warner. You are not forgotten and forever in my prayers.

Cheryl, Denise, Karen and families,

We've known your family for most of our lives through our parents - Marian and Walter McNeely. As children, we always looked forward to the "bank crowd" parties. Your mom was definitely the life of those parties, and they wouldn't have been the same without her bubbly personality and creative ideas. She will truly be missed, but we know she's in Heaven with your Dad, our Mom, Gene Graff and Leif Handstad (bank crowd members). You're all in...
