I am grateful for the outpouring of support and kind words about both Mom and Dad during this difficult time. One of the things I miss the most is talking with her on the phone. She will live on in our love and memories. Mary

I want to thank all our family and friends for their prayers and support during Mom's brief illness and death. She was a great mom, and is now so happily reunited with her sisters and all the family who have gone before her. God bless you all. In Christ there are no good-byes.
