So sorry to hear of Mabel's passing and so glad I was able to visit her in late October. I was visiting my sister in Baldwin and we both went to visit her. Knew Mabel, Bob and boys through Mt. Zion Church, Scouting and long time friends. Bob and Gary and all your family so sorry for your loss.

Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Aunt Mabel, your kind heart always shined. Thanks for making me cookies when I was at Annapolis. I will always treasure my memories of you and Uncle Bobby particularly when you, and my Mon and Dad, had dinner with me aboard my ship the USS Sylvania (AFS-2) in Fort Lauderdale!
