Dear Family:
I had the pleasure of working with your mother for many years at The Grand Rapids Press, where she was fondly known as "The Church Lady". Your Mother and Father are in many of my family's memories of East Grand Rapids. Your Mom was a one of a kind lady with class. I am very sorry for your loss.
