Hank, Janet and Jimmy,
I was sorry to hear of the passing of your loved one. I remember our parents getting together on Saturday evenings for card games and Thursday night bingo at the sportsman club. I know you will miss her but the memories will alway keep her in your hearts.

I am so sorry to hear of your great loss. As far back in my childhood as I can remember, Peachy was always there and was a great friend to both myself and my grandparents. Always quick to share a story or lend an ear her smile and exuberant laughter will always be a joyful memory for me.
Sincerely, Sherill Galeckas Fitzgibbons

Dear Hank, Janet & Jimmy,
We are so sorry over the loss of Peachy. Rich and I have so many fond memories of her. Always smiling and full of fun. Her true passion was her family and friends.
Although we called her Peachy her name did no justice as to the real person she was. May your memories comfort you in the days ahead. LOL
