Dear Gayle and Jeannie: I was sorry to read of your Mother’s passing. I remember how pretty she was and always so gracious and kind to your friends when they visited Highland Park days!. I wish I had been able to be at her services and to visit with both of you. In sympathy, Patty.
Dear Grandma,
I will always be indebted to you for giving me the gift of music which is one of the things I cherish most. I know you have gone to a better place and we will miss you always.
Bill and Jeanie and Gayle:
What a wonderful service for Alma. We enjoyed being there so much. It’s so important to honor and remember the people who have touched our lives. Your mother was so insightful to prepare for this day. It makes me think I should do the same. Take care and have a wonderful summer.

Dearest Aunt Alma, you are with all your siblings now and happy as can be. I know Dad Earl is thrilled to have you home. For as the scriptures say…to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. What an amazing comfort that is. It won’t be long until we are all together again. Love, your niece, Nancy
Dear Aunt Alma,
I can see your beautiful, smiling face. Now you are at rest and have the greatest joy and peace. Jeannie, Gayle and all the family, my thoughts and prayers are with you. All my love, Kathy
Grandma,
I will cherish your memory until the day we meet again.
Thank you for giving me guidance, inspiration, and couage. I will always love you.
Susan
Untill we meet again
You are home
