To The Powers Family:
My sincere sympathy to all of you in the loss of your Mother. Its so very sad to lose the ones we love. I can still remember visiting your family home with my parents (John & Vivian Kenney) and sisters (Kathleen & Maria) as a child during the holidays!! This picture was among the Kenney family slides of years ago! May you find peace in knowing others care and share in your loss.

Dear Ann Marie and Family,

I am so sorry to hear the loss of your mother. She was so sweet and I had a lot of memories at your house with her. Remember all the wonderful memories you had with her. Now she is finally with your father.

Dear Powers Family,
I am so sorry to hear of Mary's passing as I was just asking my sister about her the other day when I was in town. She was a beautiful lady and good friend to my mother, Barbara Williams. She joins my mom so the card playing will begin in heaven. Thoughts and prayers for all the Powers family at this time.
