Dear Meckley family,



I was so sad to hear about the passing of your wonderful mother today. My whole family has such fond memories of her...and you all. She was such a positive, lively, up-beat and talented person. She had a gift for making people feel special; including me as a young child. When I think of her, I remember her bright red lipstick and camel colored coat at the grocery store and our mothers would chat for (what seemed like) hours. My most sincere sympathy with your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.



Love and God-bless,



Mary Tobin-Meulblok

I was so sorry to hear of the passing of your Mother. While my own Mother passed away over 29 years ago, it still brings a tear at the thought of it. May God hold you in the palm of his hand while you go through these trying times.
