PAULA,
So very sorry for the sudden passing of you mother. You and your family are in our prayers.
Sincerely,
Jane Cunningham
My thoughts and prayers go out to each and everyone of you in her family. Aunt Helen was a lively woman who always wore I smile. I remember the fun I had with her the time she took me to Lancaster for a week end. It was the first time I had ever seen a store that was more than one floor high. She made sure mom included my "best clothes" and she took me to a fancy restaurant for dinner. It was so much fun. It is a times like this, that the strength and love of family are so important. May you all raise a glass to her new role in heaven.
Joni Olson
The family is in our thoughts and prayers.
Your Mattes Missouri Family
