Guestbook

  1. My heart and prayers go out to all of you. I know what it likes to lose a parent(s) and you just need to take one day at a time. That is all you can do and just know she is in a much better place. Love you all.

  2. Jenny and Dale, my heart goes out to you, all of the family and everyone who loved your mother. She was a very special lady and I have wonderful memories of her as our Girl Scout leader and a perfect “neighborhood mom”. She was always there – at church, at school, and at home. Always caring, loving, and treated us all as if we were her own. I know this is a huge loss and I’m so very sorry.

    I hope you take some measure of comfort knowing she has been reunited with your father, Jack, and sister, Rhonda.

  3. Jenny,

    Sending prayers to you and your family. Fond memories of your mom and her presence throughout my time at St. Mark’s.
