Where on earth does our time go? I remember your Mom like it was yesterday. I remember all of the time going to your house and being greeted by both of your Mom and Dad. Your Dad was always in the den and your Mom in the kitchen. RIP. Mary Lou and thanks for all of the kindness you showed to me.

Tom, Andy and Lori: Donnie just let me know about your Mom's passing. What a great woman she was! How ironic it was that my mom and dad bought the house across from them at Bass Lake! Dad was so happy to be reunited with them after going thru grammar school together! Those were some wonderful years on Lombardy Lane. May the memories you have with your Mom sustain you now. I'm imagining that she's happy to be back with your Dad and they are hanging out with Don & Eileen, Kolata, Bernie, Hibbie & Elaine, Red & Joan, and Ruth & Cliff. Weren't we lucky to have been their children ? Tony &Mary Kay and all the McGarr's

Lori, Tommy and Andy and Family,

We are so sorry for your loss of your Mom. We are sending you prayers and thoughts. Although we are so sorry to hear of this news, we truly believe that she is now reunited with your Dad and she is in a happy place being back with her soulmate. Your Mom was a great lady and we know it is such a loss for you all and we send you our deepest sympathy.

With sympathy,
Linda, John, Grace and Family

Dearest Lori, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. There will come a time when you will be able to replace the pain with happy memories of your mom.

Love,

Maxine
