Like my sister said, my family and I are sorry that we are unable to attend the funeral. Please know that your family is in our thoughts and prayers. Mrs. Thomas was an amazing woman and I know that my Nana and Pa are keeping her company now in heaven.

I am so sorry that my family and I can be there for the funeral. Please know that you all are in our hearts. Gay was a second Grandmother to Randy, Stephanie and I. We will miss her dearly. I know she is in heaven playing bridge with my Nana as they had always talked about. We will miss her very much. We love you all!

Dear Earl, Ann Daley, Betsy, and John,
Daddy (Louis Roberts), Tom and I are all too familiar with the mixed blessing of knowing that wife and mother is free from suffering. We hope your Hospice experience was a supportive one. The staff at the hospice center where Moma (Eleanor) died last December continues to communicate with us through monthly mailings - very helpful. Please know we are thinking of you.
Love,
Louis Roberts, Tom Roberts, Helen Gray R. Coats
