Mrs. Meyer was a wonderful lady who always welcomed all of us into her home. She could always make you feel like you were just the person she wanted to see and to talk to. I especially enjoyed the times when Nancy and I would take our moms to lunch. It was so much fun to sit back and listen to the two of them talk about their days at St. Philip and the mutual friends they made there. I’m sure they have already enjoyed their reunion and have resumed their conversations. I am so sorry I am out of town. I will be thinking of all of you and keeping you all in my prayers. Rest In Peace, Mrs. Meyer. Love, Donna Ross
Dear Sherry and the Meyer Family, The memories of a loving mother like Theresa is seen in the fruits of her life. I have come to know you and most recently Nancy and this gives me a picture of what your dear Mother has been and means to the family and all who shared her life. She has walked the faith journey by doing her part; may the good Lord reward her for all she has done and been! Fr. Charles
Dear Meyer Family: The Married Couple’s Club is now even more complete. They all have missed your Mother. May God bless all of you and be with you through this grief laden period of your life. Hugs and prayers, Bob and Marita Schafer’s daughter Marianne.
I think about the reunion those school chums are going to have once they meet again. My condolences to you MARY Beth and family. Debbie Becher
