Dear Michael, Yolanda, & family,

Our Fellenbaum family and the Anderson and Dhillon family all send our love and sympathy to you and your family at the passing of your dear mother.

I only met your mother a few times at your home, but each time she was very gracious, warm and loving. She was a lovely caring woman and raised children who definitely shared the love of Christ to others. Our family will always treasure you and our friendship and will forever be grateful. Your mother raised a son, you Michael, whose heart and family and wife, Yolanda, exhibited the love of Christ not only to me, but my ailing father. I want to thank her for raising children who exhibited the love of Christ to the world. She definitely was a spiritual woman and blessed. Now we grieve with you, but hold fast to the saving knowledge that she is with our Lord Jesus Christ and in glory. May you find comfort in the arms of Jesus and may he give you peace during this time.

Love,
Carole Anderson & Family

Dear Mike and family,

Izzy has been in my prayers since I learned several weeks ago that she had fallen and subsequently went to St. Anne’s Home. I enjoyed many a lunch with her and her best friend, Dot Quinn, at K-Mart. They were like sisters and loved to laugh and enjoyed each other’s company. Izzy was a sweet lady and I know how much she loved her family.

Sorry I can’t be with you to celebrate her life but she and you will be remembered in my prayers.

My God grant you peace and comfort as you mourn the loss of such a great wife, mother, grandmother, and friend.

Dear Terri and Family,

We went to High School together and you and your friendly smile and spirit were always a wonderful light in my day.  I am so sad to learn of your mother’s passing on the 30th.  The 31st was the 11th anniversary of my own dear mother’s passing. I share your loss.  Knowing they are at peace and with Our Lord in heaven is comforting and someday we will be reunited.

My prayers are with you during this difficult time.

Love and Friendship,
Loretta (Havrilla) Valle

We send our deepest condolences for your loss. Mrs. Schiavone was a very special person, and she will be missed by all of us.
Keith and Lisa Hull, and our family.

I have the pleasure of working with Kathryn and have gotten to "know" Isabelle from her lovely family stories.  Isabelle’s loving heart continues to shine through Kathryn and, I’m sure, all of you.  My family’s thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad time. God Bless you all…
