Tom and Leigh ~

I don't think I have seen your mom more than a couple of times since we all lived in Kingston, but I know that she and my mother were good friends back then.

I am so sorry for your loss.

Sincerely,
Shen Staley Shellenberger

Tom & Leigh - I'm so sad at your Mom's passing, although now she is back with Tom. Your parents hold a special place in my memories as I'm sure they do with anyone who knew them. My prayers are with you at this difficult time.

Dear Tom & Leigh, So sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. She was a delightfully charming woman. We always enjoyed being with May, but we were exceptionally lucky to have seen her a few times this summer. We especially enjoyed our visit to the winery for lunch. It was a gift! Tom and May will always be remembered with love.
