I just want to thank everybody for the kind words about my mother. I loved her so much and miss her smile and company. It was so nice to see many of her classmates come to the service despite not having any power in their homes so thank you all for being there. She will live on in my memories.

Ken,
I'm so sorry to hear about your mom. Please know I am thinking and praying for you, hoping your pain will ease with time. Thank you for all those fun times years ago when we traded our Spider-Man and other Marvel comics. It was fun sitting out in your entry way in New Village going over all the comics. I'm glad you stayed in contact with me, too. If you ever need to talk with someone, feel free to get in touch with me. Take care of yourself, Ken.

Ken and family,
Please except our deepest sympathy. Your mom and I went to school together starting during elementary at a 1 room school in Lee. Then later we worked together at Macallens in Newmarket. She will be greatly missed and I will remember her always and the fun we had. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.
