Dear Anna, Chris, Joan, Lisa, and Cecilia,
I was so saddened to hear of your mother's passing. I have often wondered about her over the years and have such fond memories of her from our years growing up in Lock Haven. She was such a sweet, wise, and Godly woman. This photo is exactly as I remembered her--I would have recognized her immediately! I'm sure she will be greatly missed. Know that you are in my thoughts and prayers during these difficult days ahead. Take comfort in knowing that she is surely at peace with Jesus and will be watching over you all.
Much love,
Lisa Rickard
