Dear Kathy, Susie and David,

My deepest condolences on the passing of your Mom. I have such wonderful memories of spending time at your home in the summers of long ago. I remember your Mom always laughing and joking with us. Swimming in your pool, playing in the streets, will always be special memories for me and your Mother was a huge part of those times. I'm glad our Mom's were such good friends. I will always remember her with great fondness. God bless you all in this difficult time. Best personal regards,

Christine

My dear friend, from as early as I can remember in my life time, as our Mom's were truly dearest friends). She has gone on ahead of me to be with our Lord. I am sure she is dancing, and if God has roller skates in heaven, she may be having fun again, how she loved to skate when we were young! We shared lots of great times, laughing, oh yes, and singing. We shared the sad times of life also. May God be with us all, as we will miss her, and her sense of humor. Love Jan
