Dear Debbie, Ron, Ken, Pete, and Paul
So sorry to hear of your loss. Your mom was one remarkable lady. My mother loved her like a sister. As busy as she was with her own family, she always made the time to volunteer to help someone in need. She will surely be missed, what a wonderful loving person she was. With heartfelt condolences,

Dear Deb, Ron, Ken, Peter & Paul:
We just learned yesterday of your Mother's passing (10/18/11). Please
except our deepest sympathy. We only
knew her for the past 15 years, but
she was always a delight to talk to.
My Mother Gertie, always looked forward to being in her company when
we all got together. They were both
two very special ladies. May they
both rest in peace. Our sincere condolences to all of you and your entire family, Joanna &...

Nan Gaston was one of the coolest people I've ever known. She did so many special things in life and raised a balanced family at the same time. I could always count on a big hello from her whenever I saw her at the BUMC, even if she hadn't seen me in a couple of years. She was honest, straightforward, and easy to talk to. Her life is one to be celebrated. May the family take comfort in knowing they had a wonderful mother for a very long time.
