Aunt Edna:

    You were a very important person in my life when growing up.  I spent many hours with you and your family.  You were like a second mother to me and I will never forget your kindness and love you showed to all of us.  You are going to be deeply missed by all who knew you.  May you rest in peace now. To the family i express my sympathy.  I am here for you if you need somebody or someone to talk with.

Love
Joe

Bob and I are so sorry about the passing of "Grandma Ressel". We enjoyed being in her company many times and she was a good friend to my Mom (Florence) at many of our family gatherings.

Please accept our condolences and know that Grandma and your family will be remembered in our prayers.

Love,
Bob and Pat Pawling
