Dear Gary and Marcy
We were sorry to hear of your mother's passing and of your loss. She was a very good woman and did a wonderful job raising her son. We are especially sorry that we were unable to attend her services, but we had a prior commitment that we were unable to change. May the Lord bless you both and your family. We think the world of you!

Dear cousin Gary,
I have such fond memories of our childhood at your moms and dads house when we were kids.
Your mom was so thoughtful to keep in touch when we grew up and even to help Holly with her pageant project for the veterans. So many lap blankets were made by her and given to those veterans and their wives in the nursing homes. A real labor of love and so appreciated . She will be missed so very much by us all.
You and your beautiful family were her pride and joy. Love & prayers,
Janet
