I was unaware of how far your artistic interests extended, Mabel. I shall always remember both you and your sisters.
May you rest in peace.

Mabel supplied me with many postage stamps from all over the world when I was starting stamp collecting in 1960. I still have those stamps and many more and have her to thank for getting me into this great hobby. Because of her, I know world geography better than if I had to learn it from a book. Our prayers of sympathy are with you, Peg- sorry we cannot make it as I have other commitments.

Dear Peg, My name is Mary and I worked for Dr. Cox for 20 years. I was in the optical dept. Mabel as well as you and your sisters. Mabel usr to come tp my office walking from home to Edward's campus to see me for her glasses. She was a joy to talk to any we had many conversations about numerous things. She was my mother-in laws roommate at Community. I talked to her when I go there and she did not know me except when I mentioned Dr. Cox. I am sorry for your loss Mabel was a dear...
