"Dear family, I have many good memories of Isabel from our days at Oak Ridge Church, Sunday School, seeing her at the Good Shepherd Home and out for a \"meal\" with you boys. I remember when the ladies at Oak Ridge had a baby shower before the twins were born in the church basement. Good memories! Sending our deepest sympathy to your family. WIsh we could be with you during this time, but will be thinking of you all. "
