Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
Mabel will be greatly missed. I had the pleasure of getting to know her at Catholic Care Center the last 3 years. She was such a joyfull part of our family there and it just isn’t the same without her smiling face! My prayers go out to her family as I know they must be greaving such a wonderfull woman.
My name is Julie Albright Thompson. I knew Mabel after she married Albright and lived in Winfield. My brother Jeff now lives in Mabel and A’s old home. I have very fond memories of Mabel. She was always so pretty, charming, friendly. A perfect southern lady. When I got married she hosted a lovely brunch for my wedding party at her home. Later while she and A were traveling she allowed my husband and me to live in their home while our house was having major renovations done. Her kindnesses were deeply appreciated. I remember thinking that I hoped that I could grow up and be like Mabel. I lost contact with her some years ago. She has often been in my thoughts. I was saddened to read her obituary and yet very honored to have known her. She will be missed. My prayers are with your family.
Dearest Brenda, Lucy, and Betsy: I am so sorry to read about your mother passing this morning. My deepest sympathy to all of you. This is one of the most difficult people to lose in your lifetime. My prayers are with you.
My heart goes out to you in your loss. Mothers are irreplacable and she will be greatly missed by you.
