Not sure what to say?

Sorry for your loss John. I just found out today. My thoughts go out to you and your family.

Judy, So sorry for the loss of your wonderful sister. We send our love and deepest sympathies to you. Ranny was in my brother, Jack Parker's class. Susie was in my brother, George's class. What a wonderful family you all were and what a legacy they all left.

I was sorry to read of Ranny's passing, and extend my sympathy to her family. She had a remarkable life.
I met her a few years ago when seated across from her at a dinner at the Gerald Ford School of Public Policy at U. Of M. I told of meeting Jerry when he was in congress and visited the College Republicqn Club when I was in law school at Michigan. When it came to Ranny, she said "unlike Jim, I wasn't there when Jerry came"'. I said "but, your mother was! ". That was the first time I met...

We were so sorry to hear of Ranny's passing and would like to add our sympathies to the family for her loss. Ranny was a high school classmate of mine so our friendship goes back many years. She was a very special person who was able to use her talents to the benefit of many people. I feel privileged to have known her.

There are no words to express the magnitude of the positive impact that Ranny had on the local community and the larger philanthropic sector. She certainly carried on the legacy of a family destined to make a difference and to leave their mark on Midland, Michigan, the United States and the world. I pray for all who loved her. My sincere condolences to you all.

I would like to extend my condolences and may you find comfort in the words at Isaiah 57:15 also may the peace and comfort God gives strengthen you during this difficult time.

We know how deeply you will miss her. Blessings from our family
