I met Mabel when I was the caretaker at the Drake House Museum and enjoyed her company right from the beginning. She enjoyed visiting NY and I remember her talking about the loons. I think she also read at the McCutchen Home in North Plainfield to residents that were younger than her. She was quite a person. My sympathies to the family.

Mrs. Oakes....she was my Sunday school teacher at St. Stephens over 40 years ago. The nicest, sweetest woman you'd ever want to meet. I was shocked to hear of her untimely demise - but no one lived a longer fuller life than she did. She taught me to love God and for that she is a truly blessed soul. May she rest in peace.
With my deepest sympathies,
Walt Hetfield and the Hetfield family

Kirk and Family,
I was saddened to read of the loss of your mother. She certainly lived a long and interesting life. I remember her well from her days of substitute teaching at Hartridge and of course as your Mom. I have nothing but fond memories of both your parents.
Would love to hear from you.
