I am sorry to hear about your loss, I too know the feeling of losing a loved one in death, this is something that no matter how many times we go through, we always feel the pain of hurt. I would like to share with you what has brought me comfort. Please let me know if it is ok.
With Deepest Sympathy,
Annette
My mother, Julia Moller, wanted you to know how sorry she is to hear of your mother’s death. She and your mother had been good friends and neighbors since your mother had moved to Seahurst.
We didn’t know Helen as much as we knew Clarence through our association with him as a building contractor. We at Riverton Heights Cabinet Shop had many good experiences with him and his talent for home building. Many blessings on Helen and she will now rest in peace.
Kathleen Gauvereau and Bobby and Jean Marie. These are the names that when I was a small child that I knew you by. Your parents came to my Mom and dad’s Funeral in the 1980’s. My Father Died durng Open Heart Surgery at Swedish Hospital. Mom died after a fall visiting Minnesota, our Cousin, Fr. Patrick Riley. She never gained the energy to get up after she broke her hip, she passed within 24 hours back in Washington. She lived with us a while. I truely missed them, they were one of the greatest human beings I ever met. I think of them often. Someday hope to meet with you again, after all, Kathy, were grew up together, even if it was just until the age of 5. 🙂
God Bless you and your family. I’ll sign as Mary Patricia Crosswhite (Mary Patricia Herkes) I changed my name to Patricia Mary.
