Dear Jeanne, Peggy and Mary Beth: I'm truly sorry that I'm unable to at least spend an hour with you to express my sorrow at your mom's passing. A lot of my memories of my early youth include your mom and dad. Again, I'm really sorry that circumstances prevent my being there to express my regrets in person. Your cousin Dan and wife Bobbi.

You and your family have my deepest sympathy.

Dear Jeanne, Peggy and Mary Beth,

What I'll always remember about your Mom won't be the steaming pots of Lean Cuisines on the stove of the 8 X 5 kitchen (with the black rotary wall phone), but how nothing, absolutely nothing got by her. She was wise to any of our stuff, and allowed us to fall on our faces, and figure out life for ourselves, mistakes and all. She missed your Dad terribly, and...

Dear Mary Beth & Family,

The St. Catherine's Women's Club members would like to express their sincerest sympathies. Our prayers and thoughts are with you and your family.
