Marjorie and Leslie,
Please accept my sincere sympathy for the passing of your mom. You may not remember me, but I remember your mom and dad from our days of living in Dallas and worshiping together at DUMC. They were both very loving and devoted friends. May the good Lord give you peace and comfort at this time.

Leslie and Marjorie, So sorry about the loss of your Dear Mother.
I was a colleague of hers while we both taught in the Dallas School Distract. She was a warm, loving gal and cared about those around her. Being a talented needle worker, she enjoyed sharing many of her assorted and beautiful pieces with others. Her kindness extended to bits of welcome advice that was always included great wisdom. While out of contact these recent years, she has been recalled often, as a wonderful fellow teacher. Blessings and PEACE to all of you during this most difficult time. Sincerely, Kathleen Reiss
