Ted, Tom, Sheri and Tamie,
As a kid growing up on Sherwood Drive, I had no idea how comforting it must have been for our parents to be in a neighborhood of committed, engaged parents and householders. I'm thankful that your mother was one of those neighbors. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Ted, Tom, Sheri and Tamie-

I am so sorry for your loss. I have loved your Mom my whole life and will never forget all the beautiful little Barbie outfits she made for my dolls. She had so many wonderful talents and a beautiful smile and she was a great friend to my Mom and our family. I love you all.

You have my prayers for your strength and comfort during this difficult time. Your Mom, Grandma and Aunt was a bright ray of sunshine to all who ever passed by or stopped at her desk for help when she worked for the city of Hilliard. I have never forgotten her kindness.
