    I’m sorry to hear the news of your mother’s passing. It seems time passes and family members grow apart; however, memories are still shared. Your mother was an important person in my mother’s life. Thinking of all of you…

    RIP Jane

    Bill, Darlene, Susie and Roger,
    I know we haven’t stayed in touch in years but I will never forget all the big family get togethers when all your Mom’s and my grandma’s brothers and sisters were alive. Oh the memories! You have our deepest sympathies. I pray God will give you all the strength to get through this time of grief. If you are ever in Sesser stop in at the Brewed on Broadway coffee shop and we’ll visit.

    Carol texted me and told me your mom was in the hospital, I’m so sorry that she didn’t make it back home. It’s so hard to loose a parent. Your mom was such a fun person to be around and I know you will miss her greatly. I pray that you will all be comforted by The Lord and by your wonderful memories of a wonderful woman and mom.
