Susie and Chris ... Your mom was a great friend of mine ever since I lived across the street from your family. She, Dot Borst and I had a strong "bond" all through the years ... We visited and vacationed together no matter how many miles were between us.
Even though both of them are gone, I still think of them with great affection.
Much love .... Barbara
I was not aware of her passing until later.

Be assured of my sincere sympathy over the death of Mary, she will be missed by many. Its comforting to know that Psalms 147:3 says "He is healing the brokenhearted ones and is binding up their painful spots." May these reminders of the "God of all Comfort" strengthen you at this time.

Chris, Sue and Family, I am so sorry about your Mom. She was a wonderful friend to my mother and to our whole family. I will surely miss seeing her this winter in Florida. Her home was one of our "staples" every winter when I was down there with Donna. We will see you at the memorial in January. Love, Darlene

Chris, Sue, Judy's family, and all:
I'm so sorry that you've lost Judy, and then Nellie in such a short time. Nell was always so full of life - a doer - and, as Donna noted, such a great friend to all of the Borst family over all these many years. We will miss her laughter across the card table. My sincere condolences.
