Tributes
"My condolences to all of your family. Several of you will remember me as a teacher at St. Peter's along side my mother, Theresia Bradley. I have fond memories of the family and teaching with Anna Fern. I'm sure there are memories you can also share of those times. May these memories comfort you. Barbara, perhaps we can still meet - however I no longer have your address."
"Glenn my deepest sympathy to you and your family."

"One and all, my heart, thoughts and prayers are w/you. Be comforted w/knowing that your Mother felt safe and secure w/the care you gave her. Don't second guess and try to think of something you could've done better. She is in a better place, and will alway be w/you. Once again, I am thinking of you."
"To all of the family of Wilma. I am really going to miss her. I would always try to see her when I would come back to Indiana from Texas. She was like a second mother to me when I was growing up. She will be missed by all of us. Just know that she is with the good Lord in heaven. I will have your whole family in my prayers. Just know she is in a better place. Mike Truelove"
"Just wanted to tell you how sorry I am to hear of your loss. Rose (as I knew her) was such a beautiful person and I always looked forward to seeing her in the office. She always had a wonderful smile and a kind word! I am comforted in knowing she is now with the Lord and no longer in pain. Rest assured that she will live on in all your hearts. Blessings to all of you during this tough week as well as the weeks to follow. Miss you! Cheryl"
