Dear Sharon and Family, I was so sorry to read about the loss of your Mother. She was always so kind to me esp. when ordering so many Longaberger baskets!! She had a kind spirit but also was a hard worker and gave her daycare all she could. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Let your Faith and God's love and peace surround and uphold you as you move forward. May God Bless, Jane Seasholtz

Dear Sharon and family,

I was so very sorry to hear of the news of your mother's passing. Please know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. May all your wonderful memories of your Mom provide comfort and peace to you at this time. I remember when we were in 2nd grade, I believe, we realized that your Mom and mine went to school together and I came over to your house to play. I know it has been a long time since we have made contact, but those years we grew up together play a special part in my heart
With deepest sympathy and love,

Please accept my sympathy and the blessed hope we have in the Risen Lord Jesus. I recall working with Marilyn as my first secretary at Grace Church in the early 1970's, and her dedication to that work, with Bob's, at that parish. May she rest in peace and her loved ones be comforted.
(The Rt. Rev.) Aubrey N. Bougher, STS
