Memories and Condolences

Not sure what to say?

Belated online condolences to Tim's family, and the Rolph siblings. I was very sorry for your loss. I sent a card/memorial gift via USPS back in June, but hadn't made an entry in the online guest book then.

I also wanted to thank Susan and Larry Gerke, for your Oct. 26, 2014 entry in my mother Nina Grumblatt's online guest book. (I had to do some searching before finding out that Susan is a Rolph sibling, and an in-law of my sister Becky!) Thank you for your kindness.

Mom passed on Sept. 29, and her memorial Mass will be Nov. 1, 2014.

Sincerely, Mary
