Carol, I am believing this is your mom you spoke about at our class reunion. Class of 1967 – Penn Manor?
I extend my sympathy to you and your family.  So sad it happened during these challenging days.  I am thinking about you. Mary (Axe) Burger

I attend Lancaster First Assembly, and though I never met any of you, I feel like I know all of you!! As a deaconess from my church, I was blessed to meet and visit your mother often at the Mennonite Home. She spoke lovingly of all of you as weas of your father!! I loved visiting with her as she was always positive and filled with the joy of the Lord!! Even once she was bedridden, her eyes still sparkles and she was still content!! I am sure you will all miss her, but I know she is safely Home!! You were blessed to have had her for so many years! I’ll certainly be praying for your family during this time of loss!!! Blessings Pam
