To the Eger Family: My heartfelt sympathies go out to the family and friends during this difficult time. I hope that the promise in 1 Thessalonians 4:14 can bring comfort. Knowing that there's a hope for the ones we have lost in death can be so reassuring.

My entire family will be sorry to hear of her passing. Her beautiful voice & cheerful approach to all things in life will always be with me. We still to this day listen to her singing on Vaughn Monroe recordings, & my Mom enjoyed the many performances she went to watch & the friendship that continued to the end.
