I thought I would be able to express my sympathy in person, but circumstances have changed and I will not be able to attend the funeral of Elgie. I am a daughter of Stanley and Lanore Arnell. I was glad I was able to visit with Elgie for awhile at Ada's funeral. It was nice that the family could be with her at the time of her passing. May you enjoy the peace of knowing that your mother is now with others who love her.

My deepest sympathy to the family of GEEG. I enjoyed bowling with your Mother for many, many years.
She was a true friend--one that will
be missed dearly. She is now at peace and enjoying her husband and
friends that have previously passed.
