Dear Vicki and Linda,
I am so sorry to hear of your mother's death. I have such fond memories of her kindness to me while growing up on Media Avenue. I remember spending many happy hours at your house as your friend, Linda, and your mother was always so welcoming. I also recall spending a wonderful week with your family in Rehoboth Beach...and those wonderful days at the Media pool. Your mother always made me feel special. I hope you find some comfort in the happy memories you carry with you. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.
Hebrews 13:5

Sincerely,
Jeanne (Bare) Revak

Dear Linda, Vickie and family
I am so sorry to hear of your mother's passing. please acccept my sincere sympathy.
I worked with Helen for many years at Hamilton Bank. In fact, she was the one who hired me and spent a good bit of her time to teach me what she knew about the securities business. I know she will be missed by all who knew her.

We are all so sorry to hear of your mother's passing.
We knew each other well during the years that we lived in Media Heights as you were growing up. Both of your parents were kind and loving and you were a happy family. You, in turn, were loving and caring and took good care of them in their later years. Love to you both. Anna Marie Bare, Elmer, and the girls.
(This is my seond post; the first one must have been lost.)

Vicki and Linda -
I'm so sorry to hear about your mom's death. She was such a special, generous, loving woman who embraced her friends and neighbors warmly. She taught me so much about generosity and hospitality - we had such great summer months by her pool, and with all of the kids that learned swimming lessons! She and Clay were both so special, and I'm honored to have known them. Warmly, Jenny Rae Cortese

Dear Vicki and Linda, I was so sorry to see about your mother's death. You both did everything that you could for her, so please feel good about that. Now she's with your father. I often wish I could be with Frank, I have so very much to tell him. Vicki, I wrote to you about a month ago to the Fla. address, just hoping it would find you. Please be in touch with me later. Much love to both of you, June
