I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I was the
nurse in the hospital looking for Threasa because I had gone to
school with her at willow street elementary. Several times I had
gone to your mothers room to stop and possible get a chance to
see threasa. Before i would leave to return to work i would
cover your mother and tell her she would be okay, to hang in.
Sometimes we just get so tired we just want to give up and
sleep. That is what your mother is doing, sleeping in eternal
peace. I have to let you know my mother died in the same
situation, and I know how very hard it is for the family.
Jehovah God bless your family and make your heart just a little
lighter.

Missy,
My sympathy to you on the loss of your grandmother. I have
always had such fond memories of her cutting my hair when I was
a little girl, she was such a nice lady. Know you're in my
thoughts, take care of yourself.
Sincerely,

To the wonderful family that I remember as a
State Police Trooper assigned to Lancaster in 1962-63 my
sincerest sympathy. Tess and all her children were so special
to a lonely Trooper. Her outstanding meals and happiness shared
with her and her family and with Gabe Bolla, Ed Richards and me
Bob Erling were such a joy. She will always be remembered in so
many ways on so many days.
May God bless her.
Sincerely,
Bob Erling

To the McCord Family,
I was very saddened to hear of the loss of your mom. I knew her
and your dad when I went to school and beyond. Your mom made the
best biscotti on the planet. She was so nice and friendly to me
any time I saw her. Your dad was one of the nicest guys I ever
had the pleasure of knowing. I would come and see them when I
lived in their neighborhood and your dad would come to my
parents house when there was a problem, usually with their
neighbors. All I can say is your parents were made for each
other. They were such wonderful people to me. Smile when you
remember them because I am sure thats what other people do when
they remember them, at least I do. Take care.
