Dear Sylvia, Guy, Dawn, Robbie, Hope, Debbie, and Families,
We were very sorry to learn of the passing of your beloved Mother and Grandmother. What a wonderful lady she was! We know you have many happy memories, but we want you to know that you will be in our thoughts and prayers.
With love and sympathy,
Dear Sylvia,
I don’t know if you remember me but we lived beside your Mom and Dad for several years. My Mom died when I was 9 and we moved away. Your Mom was such a good friend to my Mom and to me as well. I have such fond memories of her. She was so kind, generous and loving to me after my Mom, Thelma, died. I’m sorry for her passing but she was a wonderful lady. I remember fondly Willie and Dawn Marie and them coming to our house for cookies. My best wishes to your whole family and my sympathies as well.
