"I am so sorry to hear about your mom. I remember many times talking to her and your dad and sharing lots of laughs. She always had a smile and a laugh; I don't think I ever saw her without one. Your family is in my prayers. May the love and support of all those around you ease your pain. Sincerely, Nona"
"Dear Gary and Bill, My condolenses to you both, and your families on the loss of your mother. Your mom and dad were very special people. Growing up in Gwinn was alot of fun, especially when your mom and dad would let us play fumble in your yard and ruin their grass. I can always remember the first time I ever had Mountain Dew. It was in your house after a rough game of either baseball or fumble and Snooty came out with a glass for all of us. And who could ever forget all of those basketball games across the street when we all felt like NBA players because the basket was only eight feet high. Tonight I will say a prayer for Snooty and your families. God bless you all in this time of sorrow. Mark Gardipee 5575 Giles NE Rockford, Mi 49341"
