Sorry to hear of your loss. Our most heartfelt sympathies are with you and your families.
Cheryl and family:
I returned today from a week long trip and was reading last week’s paper and saw Ann’s obituary. I am so sorry for your loss. Your mom and dad were wonderful people. They welcomed me into your home so many weekends during our Northern days and made me feel like one of their own. Your family gave me some awesome memories. I hope your memories bring you comfort in the days ahead. I am sure there were many tears of sadness and many tears shed from laughter when telling stories and sharing memories with those who gathered with you as you celebrated your mom’s life. Please know your family will be in my thoughts and in my prayers.
With love and sincere sympathy,
Marla
