Matilda, Emily, Dottie & Henry,
I'm so sorry for your loss!! What a wonderful Mother you all had. She had such a great way to make a person feel soooo special! I have a many good memories of her. From when I was really little and Mom & Daddy taking me to her steak shop there in Coatesville. I remember crawling up on the stool's at the counter and watching everything going on in there. In fact, I have a little light green pocket knife that says "Sara's Steak Shop" on it. That is something I really treasure since I'm older. I also remember going to their house when they lived I think it was in Pomeroy. Then as the years passed, I remember taking Mom & Daddy to see her when she had the apartment in Coatesville and then when she was in the Assisted Living in the old hospital. Of course, I remember it seems like just a few years ago (maybe 4 1/2 - 5), taking Mom to see her at Harrison House. The last time I was there was a year or so ago with Vi, Jim & Cheryl. I will miss her immensely!! I'm so sorry I can't make it to her funeral, but since I'm living out of the country now I just can't do it. But my heart will be there along with many, many happy memories. You all have our deepest sympathy and we love you!!
Dorcas, Dennis and Family
