Dear Ansley, Joey, Clay, Matthew, Cale, Lawson & John:
I am so very sad to hear of "mom Hurst" passing. She was a huge part of my life and my past. Fripp Island Trips, Backyard Parties, remember the Owl in Mom's backyard tree after MiMi passed? "Mom" will always have a place in my heart that can never be replaced. I smile when I know that "mom" is now with "dad Hurst" and MiMi & Poppy..... Prayers and love to all of you.
My love,always Dinnie Lynn Gottschalk, Toledo, OH
PS:Every Christmas the 1st card I always get is from "mom". What a treasure she always was to me.

Dear Ansley, Clay, Joey & Matthew:

I have such fond memories of your Mom. Always vivacious, so giving to others, a sense of adventure and a deep love for her family. I'm sure her sweet Spirit is having a grand time reuniting with your Dad and her parents, and may that thought bring you some comfort. My heart aches for each of you and the other members of your family, as I know how much you will miss her. Much love, Ouida

Miss you, grandmother!

I have no words to express my feeling of loss. Patsy and I went from NAPS to Wesleyan. She left me to marry Bobby and you should have seen us trying to separate our clothes!!! Over the years. we talked many times about children, life in general and lately about growing older with its aches and pains. She was so proud of you children and the last time we talked it about the St. Patrick's dinner. Please know you are all in my thoughts. Much love to you all. madge

To Ms. Hurst Family,
I sorry of the family lost, but the one I know it is going to affect is my sister, Maranda. I never meet Ms. Hurst in person but because she was so dear to my sister and the many times I would call her house looking for her, she was always pleasant to me. Most of all she took my sister up under her wings and care for her like she was one of her own. I can say those two was very close and share many things together. Maranda took care of Ms. Hurst parents, Ms. Hurst Husband and then was there for Mr. Hurst. I'm proud of my sister and just wanted to share my feeling and thoughts.

Ms. Hurst will be greatly missed and their is know one like her.

I know the family feel the same way.

Again I sorry for your lost.

The Galbreath family will keep you all in our prayers.
