Hi Billy, Joan & Ray,

We're sorry we couldn't make it to the wake and funeral. I had to take Peachie to get her second epidural shot in her back for her pain. She is doing fine and the pain has really eased.

We will both miss your mom. She was such a sweet lady. She had such a lovely smile. Billy, I always though it was neat the way you used to call her by her first name. I know you all were very devoted to her.

Love,

Mary & Cheyenne Bode and Family

Dear Joan, Ray & Billy,
Was so sorry to hear about Ms. Miriam - knew she was ill - saw Ray a few days ago- I am so sorry that I cannot be with you all - cause I'll be working at her favorite place and thinking of her all day - was hoping she could have showed up on Saturday - I will surely miss her -she was so happy to be shopping - Joan & Billy you all are so lucky to have had her so long - my mom was 93 when she passed but I was only in my fifties - since I am one of 9 - cherish all the years you had her with you. God bless you all. She will be in my prayers.

Bill,
I am so sorry to hear about your mom. Words do little to comfort now, but on every occasion that we were together with you, I always remember your loving attention and devotion to her. She was a wonderful mother, and you were the best you could be to her always.
Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers,
Theresa Barr
