Thank you for your sign from above today, mom! It sure scared the heck out of me when it first happened! When I seen it was a very old, yet new Brotherhood Winery glass that came crashing onto my countertop breaking into many pieces, I knew it was a sure sign you are watching over me from the beautiful heaven above:-) You and your friends enjoyed going there many years ago on bus trips. You gave each of us a pair as a souvenir. I just wonder how it got to the very front of the shelf it was on, being I never used them. Precious happenings from heaven, Love you mom:-)

To The Wanamaker Family: Our deepest condolences in the loss of your beloved Mother, Helen. We got to know her when she lived in Ironton and came into the Ironton Telephone Co every month to pay her bill. She was the nicest, kindest person and to be a CNA all those years she definitely had the care factor. She will be forever in your hearts and memories. She is now your guardian angel watching all of you from the front row seat in heaven. Sincerely, Carolyn George and Rose Marie George Beck
