Dear Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. Words cannot express the pain I feel for each of you. Your Wife and Mother was the best and to have known her just a little is enough to make me strive to be such a woman!! I love you all very much and pray for you especially during the holidays cause sometimes that's harder than just a regular day. Love each other, as she loved you all. Hold on to the memory of her voice, helps through the rough days... I love you!!!

Richard, Mary, Rick, Geri and families,
We know the loss of Tux is difficult for each of you. We just want you to know how much we loved her and that we too will miss her. Our entire family has great memories of the many good times we got to spend with her. I don't think the boys will ever forget how good chocolate gravy was - made by Tux, of course. As I've told you before, Tux always made us feel welcome in your home and treated us like her own.
May God bless and comfort each of you with the warm memories you have of her. We love all of you,

Butch, Sue, Darin and Chris and families

It seems as though I spent more time with your family than I did my own during my teenage years. Tuxie was like a second mom to me. I know it's hard to lose someone you love so much, but we know she's in a better place and is at peace. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

We are so saddened by the death of our friend Martha. She was among the greatest of blessings added to our family when our son married her granddaughter 12 years ago. We always knew her to be kind, loving and wonderfully fun. She will be missed by our whole family.
