To all my cousins,
It is with a very heavy heart I feel the loss of your mom with all of you.
I wanted you to know, I have the best memories of your Mom and Dad. Many visits to your home and sleepovers when I was young. Stevie playing ball and Susie always at the pool. Your mom was always so good to me and I will never forget her. I’m so glad I got a chance to talk with her a few months ago.
My love and heart goes out to all of you. She was a great Mom and Aunt!!!

With Love,
Cousin Sharon

Steve, Sue,and Barb,

I am offering my deepest condolences on the loss of your Mom.
I am so sorry I couldn’t be there today for the service.

Your Mom was one special person, and always treated me like a son. I spent as much time at your dinner table as I did my own. Her sense of humor was out of this world.  All the visits to your store over the last few years, I would be greeted by her as the receptionist and she was still kidding me every visit.  She was one of the kindest people I ever met.

Garry Adams and family

Betsy, Steve and Susie,
Sorry that my parents and I could not attend the service and personally express our sympathy to you.  My parents have been away on a trip.  We all appreciated your mother (and Dad) as wonderful next door neighbors. 
Treasure the memories you share over the years for she will always live in your heart through them. 

Giny (Reed) Mackey
