Michael and Deb,
I have been trying to connect with your mom for a while, and I tried again tonight. I am shocked beyond words and am saddened that we did not get a chance to catch up before her passing.
I saw that your dad passed, as well. Both were lovely people and I was blessed to have had all of you in my life when I was "growing up" as your babysitter.
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. I know that your parents are proud of who you grew up to be--you both seem to have grown up to be pretty neat adults. Perhaps we will connect one day in the future.
Take care,
Sherri Auten-Wallace

Debbie,
Words cannot express how sad I was to hear of your mom's passing. I know we haven't been very close lately, but you and your family always hold a special place in my heart and I can only hope that you know that. Your mother was a wonderful woman and a true inspiration. She was always so loving and kind to me. I will never forget her and I am thinking of you and your family during this sad time. Love you always!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Michael and Kay


Michael, I was sorry to note the death of your mother.

It is a difficult time when one loses a parent.

I was 57 when my mother died and 63 when my father died. Even at that age I found very difficult to accept the reality that the two people who where so much a part of my life were now gone.

My sympathy also goes to Mark and Scott on the loss of their grandmother and earlier their grandfather. I know they were close to both of them.
