Dear Marvin, Jan and family: I am so sorry to hear of Isabel's passing. I was out of town visiting Donna and her family and returned Monday and read the notice in the newspaper or I would have attended the service. We have lost so many loved ones at Wesley and it has left a big hole in our hearts. May the many happy memories you share and hold in your hearts keep you close to her. I will keep you in my prayers. With love and sympathy, Doris
