Not sure what to say?

To the Steinle family,

Our deepest sympathy goes to each of you for your loss. Both Dave and I have lost our parents. I can tell you it does not get any easier. Time does not heal all wounds but you learn to cope as time goes on because you have to. What helps us is to openly remember the good and bad times, the laughter and tears with our parents, the frustration and rewards from childhood and the memories/moments in time that each person who knew and loved your mother has to...

Deanna and family,

Your mom was so special and had such a big heart. I have had the pleasure of knowing you and your family for over 20 years now. I remember back in '92, my daughter Megan was only a few months old and my husband was out to sea. Your mom so kindly offered to baby sit so that you and I could go to the movies. I bet she did not put that baby down the entire night! She was a sweet lady and will be greatly missed by all who knew her.

Deanna and family,

I never had the opportunity to meet your mother. She must have been an amazing person to raise such a warm and friendly family. She lives on through the warmth and kindness of her children and the memories that you all share.

With Deepest Sympathy,

To all of the Steinle Family,

Rita was a very close friend of ours and will be missed. We never known her to be an angry person, always had a kind word to say about everyone that she knew. During her time of illness she never became angry about the situation, she took everything in stride. We loved her as much as she loved the goodies that we took her from our kitchen, especially the Chocolate cake and the Halupkies. We shall never ever forget her and look forward to...

To the Steinle family:
One of the most profound losses that anyone can experience is the death of their mother. I think your mother's greatest legacy will be in the wonderful children she raised. Your mom was a very special lady. I will always remember her sweet smile and beautiful nature. We share in your grief and extend our deepest sympathy to you and your family. May God keep you in his warm embrace at this difficult time.

Deanna, Annie, and all of the family of Mrs. Steinle,
Although I only had the pleasure of meeting Mrs. Steinle once, I have heard many wonderful stories over the years. As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.
You are all in our thoughts and prayers,
Karen and Jason Pernell

To the Steinle Family,
I am a friend of Deanna and only knew Mrs Steinle because she came to our lab with her little "service dog". We were very sad when we found out she had cancer. She was fortunate to have such a loving family to care for her ..may she rest in peace.

Deanna –
My sincere condolences go to you and your family during this difficult time. I cannot begin to realize the depth of your sorrow after your mother’s passing. I ran across a quote I wanted to share with you. Being a mom I can relate – hope you can. Take care of yourself and family and know if you need anything, just ask.
"I am not a perfect mother and I will never be.
You are not a perfect daughter and you will never be.
But put us together and we will be...

I will always remember how gracious Mrs. Steinle was when you were a guest in her home. There were always so many kids around - her children and all of their friends. She was very kind to me and I will always be grateful for that.

I've talked with Deanna many times throughout Mrs. Steinle's illness and she was so grateful to everyone, especially Annie, for helping take care of her mother in her time of need. Mrs. Steinle was truly blessed to be loved by so many and she will be...
