Memories and Condolences
for Alicia Withers
May 26, 2011
Dearest Eleanor,
It has been many decades since last we met, but I have very fond memories of you at Villa. My deepest condolences to you and your family. Losing one's Mumy is like losing your right arm as Jane Boldt stated so many decades ago sitting in her kitchen on Litzsinger. I felt those words reverberate when I lost my Mumy 9 years ago. Our Mothers are irreplaceable. God Speed, Darling as you go thru this passage and know that God and your Mumy are watching over you, and will carry you thru this passage, and be with you forever. I feel my Mumy everyday. You will feel your Mother with you as well. Prayers, Hugs, and Blesings as you go thru this passage in life. Someone told me - Think back to when you were little, think back when your Mother's charm and laughter and joy wrapped you in her arms, and then stop the film, and hold that in the palm of your hand, your heart, and soul. Comfort yourself in your memories and always hold the best to keep yourself going as your Mother would want you to enjoy love, joy and friendship in this life.
God Bless,
Christine Dolan

Dear Anne, Sarah and Eleanor, I was so sorry to hear that your mom died- We worked together at the Service Bureau for about 3 years back in the 60's and my mother(Barbara Burkham) preceded me at the Bureau. I was so very fond of your mom. Wonderful sense of humor and fun to work with. My sympathy to you all thru this difficult time. Nancy Burkham Williams

Dear Aunt Anne, Aunt Sarah, Aunt Eleanor and Withers' family,
My family and I are so sorry about the death of Aunt Alicia. We will cherish our memories of her and miss her very much. I was so fortunate to have Aunt Alicia as my great aunt. She was such a beautiful, elegant woman who was an inspiration and example to me and everyone who knew her. You're in our thoughts and prayers as you go through this difficult time of loss.

Eleanor, I was very sorry to hear of your mother's death. Please accept my deepest sympathy as having lost a dad 12 years ago, I know the pain of losing a close family member. My thoughts and prayers are with you and just know that in time, the memories you had with her will give you joy and erase the pain you now feel. Take care.

Mrs. Withers was a dear family friend long before I was born, both to my mother and her sisters and on my father's side, especially to my Aunt Eleanor Schlafly. We have shared meals both in St. Louis and in Europe; and many happy occasions and smiles for a half-century. I hope that her family can take comfort in knowing that she enriched the lives of many of us across several generations.

With prayers and love,
