Not sure what to say?

Irene, sorry about your mom. Thinking of you. Suzy

Herky was a valued volunteer for Central Washington Hospital for years. Always helpful and cheerful. We loved Herky

Iwas lucky enough to spend time with her before she passed, what an awesome woman she was!!!

She was a kind soul with a great sense of humor. My thoughts and prayers for her family

Herky was my mother´s best friend and like a second mother to me and my brothers for many years. Our deepest thoughts and prayers go out to all the family especially Jerry, David and Sherri who I haven´t seen for so many years. I can´t help but believe that our mothers will be together again in heaven. -Tony Gillin

Irene, I´m glad you had her for so many years. She has to be happy to see Jo again!

Herky was the best. She welcomed and loved everyone. I was friends with her kids when they lived in Brewster. I was at their house a lot. When I was in the eighth or ninth grade, I found a litter of puppies that someone had dumped on the side of the road. These pups were very, very small and needed still to be bottle fed multiple times a day. I lived far out of town at that time and there was no way for me to go home and feed them. Herky allowed me to take the puppies to the Balcom´s house...

I'm sorry to hear of Herky's passing. She was a delightful person and a ray of sunshine. She will be missed.
