My deepest condolences on behalf of myself and my entire family. (Great) Aunt Lydia was my Grandmothers last remaining sister, and its so sad to see the last of the Kircher sisters leave us. My mother was so happy to talk to Gil last week, I hope we can continue to keep in touch. Our thoughts and prayer are with you.
Take Care, Raegen Williams (Daughter of Trudy & Kay Pierce, Grand daughter of Mildred Collins)

It was great to have you as my second Mom. I will miss your smile and the things you did that made us laugh. I especially miss your crocheting. I see so many patterns/kits that I know you would love to be crocheting. I'm sure you will find something to do up in heaven.
Love, your daughter-in-law Diane
