Dear Susie and family,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss . Your mom was such a wonderful woman and even though we didn't see them much, I always thought of your parents as very, very special people. They both held a special place in my heart.
I know that she will be missed greatly by the family, I remember what a great Mom she was and I'm sure an equally wonderful grandmother and great grandmother.
I'm so sorry that Mom and I won't be able to attend her services. Mother can't get out in this weather and I am in Florida.
Again, you have our deepest sympathy.
Lovingly,
Muriel Schavey and Treva Larson

My sincere condolences to the family and especially my dear friend Scott and his wife, Sandra. It is never the right time of year to lose a fine person as your mother, but perhaps it is a blessing for her to be with your Dad now. I so wish I could be there this weekend to lend my support, as you tried when my mother passed away. Just know that my thoughts are with all of you.

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss during this holiday season. Although I did not know your mother/grandmother personally, I know that she was a wonderful matriarch. Her loving family proves how special she was. God bless you in your sorrow.
