Dear Debbie,

Thanks so much for your words of sympathy for Mom. I had a wonderful sweet, beautiful, and kind mother and I miss her every single day. Deb, even though we see each other so very little now, we will always have those wonderful memories and there is nothing better than good memories.

I hope that when you get up our way again we can all get together and make more wonderful memories!

This will be our first Easter without Mom and I know it will be hard on all of us but we know she is now with her Lord.

Love,
Wendy

I was so sorry to hear of Aunt Jessie's passing. My heart goes out to all of you at this time of grief. My memories of Aunt Jessie are of a lady who was always full of grace and so kind to those around her. My mom adored her and never hid that she was her favorite aunt! Find strength in each other and God bless all of you.

Rich,

Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and condolences.

My sisters and I have always enjoyed seeing you and talking with you, (and getting lost at the West Marine store in DE).

We hope to see you again soon.

Rich, thank you so very much for your kind words. Mom was a beautiful and classy lady to the end. We lost a wonderful mother and father. Tomorrow will be hard since it's the first holiday without her.

I sure remember all the great times (a lot of laughs) we had when we got together. Maybe we can get together one of these days soon.

Again, thanks for much for your kind thoughts.

Love,
Wendy
