I truly loved "Mrs. S" and your family. The Schelinski's were the best kind of neighbors and those days will always be treasured! Mrs. S was a true matriarch...totally devoted to you all. Although we didn't see each other nearly enough, you were always 'family'. We grieve your loss with you but are also grateful that her years of suffering are over. Ted and I offer our most heartfelt condolences and love to you all.
