Condolences to the Family
January 31, 2014
I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your Mother, Grandmother. She was my customer at the Bank in Downtown Lancaster which I have been retired from for 6 years. She was such a happy, sweet person and I always enjoyed when she came in. We became friends. She always talked fondly about her family. Always remember the good memories. With Sympathy, Susie Arnold

Our deepest sympathy in the loss of your Mother. Betty and ‘Dutch’ shared a lot of great times in their younger years and always enjoyed phone conversations in their later years.
