I remember Isabelle's smile the most when you weren't feeling well in the office at Dr. Manning where she worked for many years. She was truly a beautiful lady both inside and out. My mother Dorothy Hayden cherished her friendship over the years where they met at Merrimack St. Baptist Church. She touched the lives of many people. My husband Tom and I extend our sympathy to you and your entire family.
With Christian Love and Sympathy,

Dear family of Isabelle,
How I remember Isabelle as a member of my Mother's High school class of 1928 from West HS in Manchester.After High School about 7 or 8 ladies of that class formed a "knitting club" and met once a month at one of their homes. Mother's snapshot book had a picture of all of the ladies with their children taken one summer. You folks may have it also.Magnificent photo ,and for a long time they all kept in touch with each other.Isabelle probably lived the longest. She was a lovely women and I send sincere sympathy to all of you.Great to have her live so long.Nice memories of the "GIRLS" GET Together Club from class of '''28...Blessings,
Priscilla Currie Jacobson
daughter of Elizabeth(Liza)Fechner Currie.
