To the family of Virginia McCarten: My sincere sympathy to John Paul and his family in the loss of your Mother and Grandmother. Gene and I lived across the street and were friends with your parents for over 40 years.
Bob and Joan, you have our sympathy, our prayers are with you and the family.
From one of the Copper Oven gang: Ginny, I will always remember your cheery ‘Hi,Ron. I will miss you…
John Paul, We were very sorry to hear about your Mother’s passing. She was always one of our favorites. Her sense of humor, her jokes, and that wonderful laugh of hers was contagious. She always made the family parties so much fun. Both she and your dad were that way. Of course she was always teased about her cleaning – and using the Lysol everywhere. However, we were always glad she was there to make the clean up go quickly. What a treasure she was to this family. We have missed having her at the family parties for some time. Her memory, however will always remain in our hearts. Our love and prayers are with you at this difficult time
Dear John Paul and Family: I am sorry to have learned of the death of your mother. You and my sons are about the same age (especially Sean). I remember both of your parents and times of fun they had with my parents. I appreciate all they did for my parents. Especially, I appreciate the help your mother gave to mine this last year, by checking her mail, picking up the newspaper and the telephone calls she made on behalf of my mother to check on Mom. I know she can hear my ‘Thank You, Virginia.’ Thank the Lord I thanked her in person too. May her memories give you solace.
