Ruth, Charlie, Barbara, and families…..I am writing to you on behalf of my mom (Aunt Lucy) and our family members. We are very sorry for your loss. xxoo Cousin Anne
Our heartfelt sympathies to all of you. We know these last years have been difficult due to your parents failing health and are sorry that we have not been more helpful ourselves. Your mom was a beautiful person and we have many fond memories of her. Hope your memories will sustain you during this difficult time.
Love, Pete and Marie
Auntie Marie,
I am sure you had a wonderful greeting by Uncle Roland, my gramps, Hazel and my dad, and are in peace now. You will be missed ever so much. You were such a lovely lady, and I will carry memories of you in my heart forever.
With much love,
Your grandniece, Kirsten
We love you, Aunt Marie and miss you terribly. We have wonderful memories and ‘Aunt Marie Stories’ to carry with us.
To Charlie, Ruthie and Barbara,
Sorry for the loss of your Mom, cannot believe she was 92. There were so many memories of her and your Dad at the family picnics over the years when we were kids. I will try and get down for the service next week, but I am in N.H. and it depends on the weather.
Cousin Sandy
Chuck, Kath, Bobbie, Joe, Ruth and Donny and all your children and grandchildren,
Colin and I were saddened to hear of your Mom’s death even though we know it is a blessing from God. Loosing one’s Mom is so hard. We carry that loss forever and we miss them terribly. Treasure those fun memories, talk of them often. Life goes on and it’s nice to know that Marie is smiling down on all of us.
Our Harts and Prayers are with the family. Marie was loved by so many people. She is at peace with the one that she chose over sixty five years ago. They are together looking down on everyone with love and prayers for the future.
We will miss her Love Dot and George
