"Sharon, Mary Sue & Judy, So sorry to hear about your Mother's death. I didn't find out about it until after the funeral. I always liked you Mother. I would see her volunteering at the hospital. What a wonderful way to help people. Treasure the quilts she made with love for you. Linda (Colvin)Troutman"

Tributes
"Sharon and Mary Sue, I just heard about your Mother's passing. I am very sorry to hear, too late to pay my respects When I was the receptionist at The Hearth, your Mother was one of my favorites along with Mrs. Milano. This is the Funeral Homes where my Aunt was viewed. My other Aunt is Wava Riester which I am sure knew your Mother. We talked about Washington and Logootee alot. Be thankful God blessed you with such a special Mother to give you guidance thru out your lives. She loved you girls so much. You are both so much like her in your warm and gentle personalities. Keep her precious memories alive in your hearts always as I do with my Mom. With sweet tears Mary"
