Mabel was always a cheerful & loving addition to any family gathering while I was growing up and attending family reunions with the Ted Case family & I always looked forward to visiting with her family since her daughters were my age. Mabel always seemed so much younger & was always ready with a comforting hug whenever we got together. My condolences to Carolyn & Joyce & their families. May God grant you comfort and peace in your memories.
