Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
Ruthann, I have been out of town and have just been catching up on reading newspapers. I am so sorry to read about your mother. I did not know her very well but in the time I spent with her, it was very evident that she was a wonderful person. I am thinking about you.
Marjorie was a patient of mine for many years. She was helpful in getting my older daughter into a sorority at college. Marjorie was always a positive person and an inspiration to all who knew her. I will truly miss her.
Ruthann and Jim – I have been out of town and am so sorry that I missed the memorial service. I hear it was beautiful and ended with the Michigan song!! As the ‘next door’ neighbor I came to love and appreciate your mother. She was ALWAYS a pillar of faith and offered a positive outlook about everything….ugly fences, failed gardens, plumbing problems, etc.! My visits these last few months were a source of spiritual renewal and rich fellowship. She always had an interest in my work, faith, family and our fellow neighbors. Know that you have been and will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers. I am so happy for her that she is with Jesus and as she said, ‘with those she loves on the other side’. She will be missed. Her example, cheerleader words and ready smile will continue to be remembered until I see her again. Blessings to you both and to Johnny as you carry the Rees torch! Peg, the neighbor next door! peg
