Not sure what to say?

Peg and family,
My thoughts and Prayers are with you. Your memories and stories will keep your mom alive in your hearts.

Grete is remembered by my family as a wonderful mother and neighbor. She welcomed us over at Christmas to witness the lighting of the candles on the tree - something I know we will never forget. I am glad to have known her and to have had a cherished lifelong friendship with her daughter Peg. You are all in my thoughts and prayers!

Dear Peg and family, I am so sorry for your loss. I have many wonderful memeories of you and your family. Wish I could be there for the memorial service, but you will be in my thoughts.

Was sorry to hear of the passing of Greta. I have spoken to my sister, Betty Williams to advise her. Both Bet and I remember the 4th of July picnics with the Carrothers, the Hendersons, the Carpenters and our family, the Williams family. Have many fond memories of Greta and we send our prayers and thoughts to Chuck and his family. Peg and Skip Scutt and Bet Williams , all in Florida.

We had the pleasure of working with Greta at the Office For the Aging in the last 1980s. We loved hearing her stories of Austria and her life experiences. Rich & I would sometimes disagree and Greta would "send "us to "our rooms". I always told her she liked him best.
We treasure the memories and send our most sincere condolences to Mr. Carpenter and the family.

Peg and family. So sorry for your loss. Your Mom made a wonderful family. She will be missed.
