"Please accept my condolences on the loss of your mother. Ginney was a very sweet, warm, caring person. She made this transplanted Michigander feel like I belonged in Southern Indiana instantly. We shared many stories with one another. Oh how I will miss her smile and twinkling blue eyes, and words of encouragement. My prayers are with all of you."

"Ed, So sorry to learn that your Mother passed away. You may not remember me but we went thru grade school and high school together. I lost my brother, Steve Churchill, in January and still having a hard time dealing with it. Will say a prayer for you and your family. I found that prayer gives you strength and peace during times like this. Your Mother is at rest and peace now and that is important. Once again, so sorry for your loss."
