Not sure what to say?

Hello, my name is Retagene Hanslik and I was named after Retagene Baily. My Mom grew up in Dorset and her name was Helen Esther Holstein. She passed away 4 years ago. Mom must have thought a lot of Retagene to name me after her. I've tried finding Retagene from time to time but didn't know her married name.

To the McNamara Family:
We can only express to you how sad we are for your loss. We aren't sure that any words can adequately express condolenses. Especially because your mother was incomparable; always a smile; and always the center of her wonderful family.

To the whole McNamara family. I was so sorry to hear of the passing of your Mother. It has been MANY years since I have seen any of you guys but, do remember some wonderful times back in Ashtabula.

Our families were so close and now our parents are all back together thinking back to all the great times they had together. You will all be in my prayers and thoughts at this hard time...
