Mark and Family, I was so sorry to read about your mom. I know how much she meant to all of you. I also know how much she loved all of you. She used to tease me about "falling off the face of the earth"(and I guess I did for a very long time this time!) She was so proud of all of you and only wished the best for you as only a mother can. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your families in the this time of sorrow.

Stacey, John and Mark and families. I was so sad about your Mom's passing. I remember her as my sweet neighbor, with three children we dearly loved ( and still do )...as we settled into our new home, with our little Daughter, Marcy. Next door to your family, we had such fun times due to the love and kindness of of your Mom and her family. Take care and we love all of you, Ms Chiarky

Mark, John and Stacy,
I remember your Mom from the days we all went to church together at Gregory. I remember her as having a smile on her face and I also remember her laugher.
My thoughts and prayers are with each of you and your families.
