I am sorry for your loss (Jeri, Patti and Dean). Your Mom set the bar high for mothers on Queen Anne; how blessed you are to have had such a mentor, mother, grandmother. She always made those who visited your home feel special. Thinking of you.

Farewell to a great lady and loyal neighbor. Your presence at Dolphin Beach will be missed by all, especially the children. Your kindness and laughter drew them to you no matter what family they were from. God speed from our grandchildren Thaylo and Numi and from us, Jim and Christine

I am saddened to hear of Margie's passing. What a wonderful lady! I first knew her from walking on Maui. In the past few years just stopped by to say hello. She always spoke so fondly of her children, grandchildren and her great grandchildren.

I would like to express my condolences to the family (especially Jeri), and express my appreciation for "Mrs. Heathcote's" service as Girl Scout Troup 1265's scout leader during the '50's. She was fun and patient with all of us silly girls.
