Dear Joette, Gary and Family,
I was very sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. She was a wonderful lady! She was so kind and caring, and always seemed to have a positive outlook on life. I have a lot of fond memories of times spent at your house on the east side ( Especially the Thanksgiving the turkey burned and smoked up the house! :)
I will always remember your parents with great affection.
My deepest condolences to you all.
