Grandma,
The past three months have been the hardest I have ever gone through. Losing you and Kevin in the same day has really taken a toll on me. I feel selfish because I wish you were here more than anything, I'm going through a really tough time and I want my grandma and friend to help me through it. I will hold onto our memories forever and I love you more than anything. I'm sorry I didn't visit as much the past two years and I regret that more than anything, but I know you understand. You were my rock and I can only aspire to be half the woman you were someday. I love love love you more than anything and I miss you just as much. Give grandpa a big hug and kiss from his little girl. I love both of you.

Aunt Addie had a special gift of communication that was truly unique. Whether it was joking around or seriously listening to one of your problems, she made you feel at ease and a little "special" by showing that she genuinely cared for you as a person. She carried herself with a cheerful dignity. We'll all miss her.

Skeeter, Brenda and Mandy,
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Your Mom was such a classy lady! I remember Mom and Dad (Glenn and Margaret Martin) were in the bowling league with your parents in St. Anthony many years ago, and they were good friends. When I would see Addie at Faith Church, she always had that wonderful smile on her face and a happy greeting for me. And she would make me laugh...she had a great sense of humor! She will be missed. Maybe she and my mom will do some bowling up in heaven!
Take care,

Walt and Addie were two of the best neighbors one could have. My late husband, Patrick, and I enjoyed visiting with them on Serene Court. They were kind and gentle souls who were first class. May your memories of them sustain you in the days to come.

Skeeter, Brenda and Mandy. Our hearts go out to you. Your Mom and Dad were ONE of a kind. It's been probably ten years since we saw your mom. We bowled with them on Friday nights at St. Anthony Lanes and went to Las Vegas with them. Brenda and Mandy took care of our two oldest boys and both your mom and dad were there when we had our youngest. Doug and I will both miss them, but we got such wonderful memories. God be with you at this time. The Somers family, Doug, Gloria, David, Doug Jr. and Chris.

Dear Family,
I've just returned from vacation only to learn Addie had passed away. I am so sorry for your loss. Addie was a beautiful woman both inside and out and I always enjoyed talking with her. I knew her when she lived in the Assisted Living Area before she moved to the Care Center. We will greatly miss Addie and her beautiful smile. God Bless all of you.
