To my friend, Matt and his family-
So sorry for your loss of your Mom and Grandmom.    Matt has told me many times of her postive influence on his life. May you all find comfort in the legacy she leaves behind.

Dear Mark and Mary Ann & family,

    “Unable are the loved to die.  For love is immortality.”  ~Emily Dickinson

    Words can not express the loss of your mother.  The friendship and love we shared meant a great deal to me in so many ways.  She is not gone; she lives on in our hearts forever.  May God bless and watch over you in your time of sorrow. Love, Joyce and Ken Erb

    “The angels are always near to those who are grieving, to whisper to them that their loved ones are safe in the hand of God.” ~Quoted in The Angels’ Little Instruction Book by Eileen Elias Freeman, 1994

Mark & Mary Ann –

My deepest condolences on the loss of your mother.  You’re in my thoughts and prayers.

Alan Felizzi

Dear Mark and Mary Ann, My sincerest condolences in your loss. Your mom was awesome! Not but a week ago I was telling my husband how I used to hide little notes in her appointment book, files, desk, etc. when I would go to work with dad on Saturdays. Your mom and dad were two of the finest people and I know that my family was very fortunate to be a part of their lives. Now they are once again together and we can only hope that a major party has started! God bless you both and know that my prayers are with you at this most difficult time.
