Dear Schmerold Family,

I just heard today of your Mom's passing and wanted to express how deeply sorry I am to hear of your loss. I used to babysit for the four oldest, Tom you were friends with my son Eric when we moved back to Wheaton, and Amy you and I worked together at Marian Park. Your Mom(mother-in-law) was so kind and very determined to be the best Mom she could be. I will pray that the Lord wrap His loving arms around you all and give you peace through this most difficult time.

In Christ,

Marge Coleman
