I’m so sadden to read of her passing, but, God knows she has suffered so many years, that it time for her to rejoice pain free. The memories I have of her from childhood will be with me forever. She was a lovely, kind, caring & giving person. I loved her smile, laughter.

Ray and Sheila, I don’t have either of your addresses so felt this was the best way to let you know my feelings. I’m so sorry about the loss of your Mother. I know it was a difficult time for all of you and please know that you were in my thoughts and prayers. Your Mom and I shared many a happy time together as we watched you guys grow up. Sometimes things happen that we don’t foresee nor explain but want you to know that I’ve never forgotten her nor the two of you. May God bless you and your families. Aunt Peggy
