Not sure what to say?

Our condolences to the Thornberg family. Michael, I'm so sorry to hear about the passing of your mother. I wish I had known the recent morning that I breezed past you on my way to my bus ride for work. I would have given you a more neighborly greeting and my condolences. Take care and have your memories live in your heart and her soul.

You were such a kind soul, Miriam, with a gentle and warm smile. Rest in peace.

You were such an important relative to my mom, Jean Fager. She was so happy when she was with you...having a glass (or 3) and talking about the good old days. You will be missed.

Dear Aunt Miriam,
God is lucky to have you!
May the road rise to meet you. May the wind be always at your back.May the sun shine warm upon your face.May the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again, May the Lord hold you in the palm of His hand. Love you always, Bobbi

To the whole family,

My memories of your mom, Mrs. Thornburg to me, are vivid and many. Funny, warm, irreverent, and patient. My mom, Phyllis, adored her, too. It has been many years, but from the notice in the paper, I see that she enjoyed a large and loving family. While sad to learn of her passing, she surely lived a long and fruitful life, and I am certain she will rest in peace.
Hi Bernie! I haven't seen you in a lifetime, and hope you are fine!

I'm thinking of you, Michael, Margaret and Girls. Savor the good memories!
