So sorry to hear about your Mom. I always thought she was such a nice lady. Not many older people made impressions on us when we were so young, but she always did for me. My Mom really thought the world of her. Now they are together once again.
Not sure if you remember me or not, but I was Rudy & Nina Johnson's daughter, Karen. We went to Ridgewood Baptist Church.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your families at this time.

Dear Alan, Lynda and Janice,
Your mother will be sorely missed. I have so many fond memories from living across the street. You mom's popcorn balls, anise candy, receiving my favorite pet cat Kiki from your cat Whiskey and Tonto, too. Enjoying time with all of you and your father in your garage and woods and playing pool at my house. Your mother was also a wonderful friend for my mother since 1963. Time flies, but memories are forever. Those days shall never end. As Bob Hope always said, "Thanks for the memories!"

Jan, Lynda and Alan,
Your Mother was the sweetest and most thoughtful lady. Growing up, she always found a way to send me a card at Christmas and my birthday. I will treasure the the memories of a special Aunt with a sense of humor, kind heart and the love of her Lord.
