Dear Joe, Janet and Jean,I want to express my sympathy to you for your great loss. We were out of town over the weekend and were not able to attend the visitation. Your mom was an inspiration and role model for me and I am sure for you. I remember her from my grade school days at I C, always so friendly and helpful, I had not seen her for many years and when I visited with her at Oak Tree Villa she instantly remembered me, I enjoyed visiting with her at The Bluffs, I think she was content with her life and ready to be with Dad again. You can feel good about the care and love you gave her, it was very evident. Will remember her and you in my prayers.
Jean,My prayers are with you and your family with the death of your mother. She was near and dear to you. We know, in faith, that she is in heaven now with her Savior. Mark Russell
Dear Jean & Janet, Our deepest sympathy to you & your family on the loss of your mother. Aunt Margaret Ann was a lady, and generously put others’ needs before her own. I enjoyed her warmth and that ongoing twinkle in her eyes. Most of all I appreciate her friendship with and acts of kindness for my mom & dad (Esther, Fred). Margaret Ann and Uncle Cletus set the bar pretty high for the most important things in life, and their behaviors truly followed their beliefs. Love, Elaine & Del
