Not sure what to say?

My Mom cherished her friendship with Mary very much. Their activities overlapped, especially with church and P.E.O. After my Mom passed, I had a wonderful visit with Mary and know she also cherished their friendship. I am very sorry for your loss. She was a joyful, positive woman and will be missed.

I think of my Aunt Mary Frances with much fondness, love, and admiration. Even though I didn’t know her well, I felt a deep connection to her through our common love of music and her dedication to helping others. It always meant a lot to me that she attended my baptism when I was a child in Atlanta. Sending much love to the family during this time.

My young daughter thoroughly enjoyed sitting in the backyard and admiring her flowers. Mrs. Shell was always so kind to her, allowing her to pick a few...

Offering our deepest sympathies during this time.
