Dear Chuck, I was so sorry to hear about your mom. I read it in the paper on Sunday. I'm sorry I missed the service. She was a very sweet lady. She was a joy to talk to. I will miss her.

I always enjoyed visiting Grace. She said, "I can't see, I can't walk, I can't hear ... so I make sure at least I am nice to people." She was a great lady. I know she was very, very upset at Betsey's death. And she was worried about the future of Salem UCC, but Grace never expressed concern about herself.

I'm sorry I could not attend her funeral - I was busy with a city training event for Congregations United for Neighborhood Action. But I spent a lot of time with Grace when she was living, and I know I will be with her in God's complete kingdom. She was a wonderful person.

In Christian Love,

Rev. Dr. Kathy Brearley

My God be with you at this diffucult time.

I thought of your mother often. She was a great influence in my life. She took the time to help me understand bookkeeping class. Her help and friendship was greatly appreciated.

May God be with your family.

My sincere condolences to the family of Mrs. Zweizig. She was a collegue of my father's (the late John Dotter) at Raub Junior High School and later I had the pleasure of being one of her students. Not only did I enjoy her class, but also listening to her recounting her travels to foreign countries with her husband. She was a wonderful lady.
