Not sure what to say?

Fred & Family - Sincere condolences. Thelma was indeed a most wonderful woman. We remember and cherish the good years at the Church of the Ascension with both of you. May God's Peace be with you. --

Mr. Boettger, my prayers are with you. I have such wonderful memories of visits in the early 80s to your always welcoming home. Mrs. Boettger (and, of course, you) have touched the lives of so many exchange students both here and around the world. The ripple effect of your kindness has no end. It is certainly a legacy to be proud of.

Fred, our thoughts and prayers are with you. We will miss Thelma. Our family had so many wonderful memories of our visits with you both. The piano, the lunches and the stories of your travels and guests from other countries.

To Thelma's Family
Although I haven't seen Thelma in years, she was someone who left a lasting impression on you. She was a family friend who often came to buy flowers from my family's business. She was a great lady who will be missed by all who knew her.

To Miss Keeler's family,
I don't know how old the picture is, but I recognized Miss Keeler immediately. She was my first grade teacher in 1951-52. At a time when it was impossible to conceive of a teacher having a life outside of the classroom, it was a joy to read of all Miss Keeler's various interests and activities. As my cousin, Ellen McIntyre said, "she was a special teacher" and I have thought of her often. May I add my sympathies to her family as well.

Fred, our deepest sympathies for your loss of Thelma.Over 31 years since our daughter Meg went to Sweden, we appreciated the kindest both of you showed us, and conversations and messages shared.

To the family of Miss Keeler.
She was my first grade teacher in 1947/48. I will never forget her. She was a special teacher. I'll never forget her in my memory of teachers.
She was blessed with a long and and giving life,
My deepest sympathies to her family.Sincerely,
