Dear Dr. Snader, Debbie and Barbie and your families,
We were so saddened to hear of Mrs. Snader’s illness and passing.  I know that she was greatly loved and honored in this life and It is with a heavy heart that I send these few words. 

I lament the passing of those wonderful years of friendship that our families shared. And even though, for one reason or another we couldn’t sustain regular contact we will always, always remember Mrs. Snader as this beautiful, stylish, elegant lady and one of the warmest women that I have ever known.  I especially will remember her warm, lovely and hearty laugh.  Always so kind and engaging. I’m so grateful for those years of devoted friendship to us.  I recall the warmth of support during those difficult days of my brothers illness, the deaths of both of my uncles, and the kindness to my "Nona". The joy shared at weddings and at those parties in my Parent’s den and of course our lovely  visits at Joe and Diane’s parties.  Please know that my Parents are "stunned". What a loss they say. Mrs. Snader was and is one of their favorites. As well as Dr. Bob.  They will wrap you in their hearts for sure and wish that I send their love and prayers with this message.  I wish that I could provide some comfort to you at this time.  Please, please call if I can do anything for you.

Our heartfelt condolences to Dr. Bob, Debbie and Barbie.
Much love,
Tonia and Larry Hinnenkamp and Family
and Micki and Tony Genoese

I wish to send my condolences to Dr. Bob and the family. I just heard tonight so I’m a little late, so sorry to hear about Miss Peggy. We will miss her very much. She was such a sweet person to know.

I first met Grandma through my daughter and son-in-law Matthew and Kim Overbaugh at one of the many family functions she attended.  Grandma so loved her grandchildren and great grandchildren as they loved her.  I will always remember how well dressed she was, her love of angels and Atlantic City, and her kindness towards me. 

She will be missed, but remembered with much love.

Love,
Robbie Prymula

Dear Barb and Deb,

I never met your mother but knowing what two outstanding daughters she raised (along with your father, of course) I am sure she was a wonderful woman.  I know how sad it is to suffer the loss of a loving mother after a short illness.
It has been 7 years since my mother died.  It is amazing how the love remains and grows with the passing years.  May the memories of your times together help to heal your broken hearts and bring the smiles back to your beautiful faces.

Warmest Regards,
Loretta (Havrilla) Valle
Barb’s classmate and Deb’s former co-worker

I knew the Krall family when I was growing up on Fourth St.  Kathryn and Joe, Peggy’s sister and brother would remember the Kirchner Family who lived a couple of doors from their home.  Their father worked for a nearby butcher shop, Spidle’s and their grandfather sold fireworks when they were legal.  I was a friend to Peggy because we were close in age.   I was very sorry to read about Peggy’s passing and wish to extend my sympathy to her husband and family.   I also extend special condolences to Kathryn and Joe on the loss of their sister.                                         A former neighbor,                    Jeanie Kirchner Garreth

John and I extend our heartfelt sympathy to you and your family in the loss of your loved one.

I am Dixie, Luella Hall’s daughter.  Luella worked for you many years.  John was a patient of yours for a long time.  We still miss my mother, even tho she passed away 25 years ago. She certainly enjoyed working for you and John misses you when his back goes out.

Sincerely,
John & Dixie Smith

DEAR KITTY AND JOSEPH, SINCEREST CONDOLENCES TO BOTH OF YOU. YOU CERTAINLY HAVE A BEAUTIFUL AND HANDSOME FAMILY. AS MY DAD ALWAYS SAID, "ALL GOOD THINGS COME TO PASS." GOD BLESS YOU.
