Mike and I came to love your Mother. She was such a sweet, dear and intelligent lady! She was my mothers roomate for about 2 years;Louise Creager (who is now at the Long Term Care Center in McConnellsburg). We so enjoyed our visits with her. She will always have a special place in our hearts. She is now at peace and has been given her heavenly reward. Our prayers to all the family.
Sincerely, Mike and Sherry Deitrich
