Marian and family,

I am so sorry for your loss. You know your mom is in a better place with your dad, looking down, smiling, and remembering the good life she had.

I will always remember her getting a bargain at 'headquarters' (Bargain Center) and being late for work because she was 'visiting the babies'.

Dear John, Donald, Marian, Cathy and Ruth Ann,
So sorry to hear of your Mother's passing away. I hold fond memories of growing up with all of you in the old neighborhood and especially of your Mom ...especially when she would kick us out of your house and made to play outdoors. I only wish I could have been there to celebrate her life. My deepest sympathy to all of you.
