Dear Steve and Family,

I'm sorry to hear about your loss. Your mother was a lovely and very special lady. Our mothers were room mothers together at East Linden, starting when we were in 1st grade in Mrs. Beers' class. She was my Sunday School teacher at the E.U.B church when it was the little white church at the corner of Denune and Berrel. I have wonderful, happy memories of your mother.

You have my sincere sympathy.

Fondly,

Susie

I am so sorry to hear about Leona passing away. I just found out on the 20th. I have thought about her over the years. She was a wonderful person. And she was an awesome friend to my Grandmother, Ella Voorhis.I don't know if any of you remember who I am. I remember all of her children. Your all in my prayers. She is with our Lord now. She has led a very long Christian life. I wish I had visited her while she was still here. But I know I'll see her again some day. I bet she and my Grandma are having a blast right now.

God Bless you and yours.

Thanks for watching over all of us. It sure was nice having someone like you as our second mom and the always open house. I would like to say that of all my memories the one that stands out is that I NEVER, EVER remember you having a bad day and always having that smile and laugh. Thanks for everything. Now you and Silva will be back together where you belong.
