Dear Mickey, I just wanted you to know that I always thought your mother was such a sweet woman. I remember her from when I was young and I would go to the YMCA everyday after school, she made a point to speak to me and make me feel important! She always had a smile on her face! You are in my thoughts and prayers!

Dear Judy, I was so sorry to learn of Nancy's death. She was a nice neat lady, and I always enjoyed seeing her in the grocery store after she retired. The support she offered to me when Tom died will never be forgotten. Thinking of you all. Fondly, Nancy Garner
