Hello Susan: Very belated condolences on my behalf. I thought of you recently,for I've been involved in Ohio's historical issues heavily within the last three years, and was hoping to see you in Toledo somewhere. It's been twenty-two years since we last seen one another at the jewellery shoppe. God bless and take care of yourself.

She treated me like her own grandchild and took Erin and I everywhere with her. The memories are endless. I loved her like my own Grandma and I will remember her forever.

She was a very kind and loving person. She treated me more like a son than a son in law. I will remember her fondly for the rest of my life.
