I have have such fond memories of both of your parents and send my caring thoughts to you both. In the last few years before Bessie moved closer to you, Sandra and I would have lunch with her. She was always ready to get up and go. In fact that is what I remember most, your parents loved to party, dance, had great friends. They shared a deep love. Keep all your good memories and pass them on .
Danny and Sue, I was saddened to hear of your mom’s passing. She was a wonderful mother and wife, I feel I csn say that since I have known her most of my life. I am sending heartfelt thoughts and prayers for you and your families. With love, Patsy
Dear Sue & Dan,
Don & I are saddened to find that Bessie has passed. She was always our trip planner when several couples took trips together. We have missed her since she moved from Shadyside but know that she was happy being nearer to all of you. Our prayers are with all of you.
