Dear Joey and Donna,

I was so sorry to learn of the loss of your mom. I remember all the fun times we got together for weddings and celebrations over the years. I know how much she will be missed by you and your families. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

After being neighbors of Mary Margret and Elmer for over 45 years it is with regret that we could not pay our respects at the wake or funeral as we were out of town during that time.But we have so many fond memories that go back many years and for that we are truly blessed. Our deepest condolences to the family.
