Jim,Gib,John and your families: I was surprised to hear of your mothers passing from my father. I remember her as such a wonderful,caring and giving person who I admired. I have fond memories of her and us as kids when we ran around and hung out together, especially when we hung out in the tree house so many years ago. She seemed to always be keeping herself busy with something. She will be missed. I know how it feels I still think about my mother who we lost many years ago. I wish you and your families the best during this trying time. God Bless

Dear Jimmy, Gibby, and your whole family. I was very sad to see your mother's name in the paper. I was at work and did not see it untill after services were already held. I see most of the Baker clan, from up the street has already sent their

best wishes. I lost dad in "96", and knew that you had already lost your father too. The picture in the paper looked just like I remember her, just a little grayer. I don't know what I'll do when I lose mom, so I can only imagine the magnatude of your loss. I still remember her letting me jump on your trampoline when you were not there. I guess it's the little things that you remember. She was like an " Icon of Lake 3 ", and I will miss knowing that she's not there anymore. I havn't seen you in a long time-- my memories are still of you both as teenagers, but it seems like it was just yesterday. My love and thoughts are with you, at this trying time. Best Wishes Dennis T.
