Not sure what to say?

Pete, sorry to hear about your Mom. My prayers are with your family. Peggy let me know. I keep in touch with her and Lynette and saw them this summer. So I do keep up with our St. Thomas group.

Friar Family, My thoughts and prayers are with you~

Pete and Carol, I heard about it at St. Pat's. I am so sorry for your loss. I was confused by the name Rita as I had not known that was her name. I remember all the times in grade school when Linda Ulman and I would come to your house to visit with your mom. Please express my sympathy to the rest of your family especially Jill and Patti. Lynette Flynn

Dear Pete - Think of you often. I rarely read the obits, but I'm glad I did today. How fortunate you were to have your dear Mother (I read the entries, so I know she was a very special lady) for almost 70 years. Cherish the memories. Peace to you and your family. Peggy Noble Idema

Dear Pete, Carol, Michael and family, and Beth - So sorry to hear of your mother's/grandmother's passing - It's so sad to lose someone you love - remember and cherish your years with her with a smile...our prayers and sympathy go out to you all. Love, Pam and family (Centilli)

My mother had many friends when I was growing up, but Jerrie was one of my favorites. I'll never forget the comfort she provided when my infant daughter died unexpectedly. She was a very special lady and you were blessed to have her for so long. All of you are in my thoughts and prayers.

I never knew her as Rita...she was always 'Gramma' to me...and she made me feel like I was part of the family every time I saw her. I am thankful for that.

Pete & Carol - I'm so sorry for the loss of your mother but wow 92 years old; that's a great run! Take Care.

Our memories are of a very special lady and her very special life. May God comfort all of you through these sad days. Deepest, deepest sympathy and love.
