Dear Teresa and family;
Scott and I are very sorry to learn of your Mother’s passing. We always enjoyed her company when she and your Dad would come for a “Meckes” gathering at our house when your Aunt Joyce was in town. Your Mom’s love of family and faith sustained her for many years and hopefully, those around you can help you with the loss of your Mom. She was a kind and sweet soul who will be missed by all who knew her. Please know you are in our thoughts. With deepest sympathy, Maureen Ferrell and Scott Breese
