Not sure what to say?

Michelle, Chloe and Jack, I worked with your mother/grandmother for several years. There were several of us that would go to lunch together and have a good time. I remember stories of her grandchildren of whom she was so proud. I did not know she was sick and was just thinking of her as I remembered she always took Chloe to the Nutcracker and enjoyed that time spent with her so much. My condolences. Mary Ann McFarland

Michelle and Matt - - I met Gail in 1958. She and Peg were close friends long before that. When Peg and I married in 1959, Gail was in the wedding party, standing next to Peg and her sister. Though not in contact much as they raised their families, they reconnected at a class reunion and renewed their friendship, remaining in contact and visiting with each other on a regular basis. During that time, Bob and I became good friends. Gail and Peg used to joke about getting to be a hundred years old while rooming together at the retirement home. Sadly, that won't happen. There are no words to express our feelings at this time. Our thoughts are with you and your children.

We had no idea Gail was sick. Thankfully, Chloe put something on FB. We are finding it hard to believe this has happened, but, God knew she missed Bob so much that he felt she needed to be with him. Our prayers, thoughts, and tears are with Michelle, Matt , and their families.

Matt, Michelle,

I am very sorry to hear about your Mother's passing. Since we were cousins and I was an only child, in many respects, your Mom was the big sister I never had. You are in my thoughts at this difficult time.
