Paul,Lee, and family, I did not know your mom well, but spent time with her on several occasions with my cousin, Maria Neihart. It was very enjoyable to be with her. I am so sorry for your loss.

Bruce & Paul,
Your Mom was a wonderful person and I'll miss her very much. I won't be able to listen to live music without thinking of her and our many fun times together.

Bruce and Paul,
I'm so sorry to read about your Mom's passing. She was the first person I met back in 1969 when I applied for a job at Merrill Lynch in downtown Jax. Since our retirements we somehow lost touch with each other. I'll always have fond memories of her laughter and wit.
Sorry I will not be able to attend her service.
My kindest regards and deepest sympathy,
