Dear Marty, Jay, Dale and all,

Your mother was one of the the most lovely, gracious, people I have ever known. And she had a sneaky sense of humor and the best laugh. She taught me so much over the years that I knew her and I know that you must be so sad. Keep the memories of her close to you, remember all the wonderful times, while that sounds trite, it works.

with affection for all,

Marty, over the years we have lost a lot of family and friends. You were always there for me, I pray for your family, now.

So sorry for your loss. May the words at John 5:28,29 bring your family comfort
