My condolences to the family. Continue to rely on God and know that he hears prayers,Isaiah 59:1.
Very kind and caring. Great lady.
Karen & Becky – Fondly remembering your mother and our working together all those years ago. She was such a dear, sweet lady and I cherish the memories of our four years together. I have often thought of her and wondered how and where she was. Sending prayers and heartfelt sympathy.
Dear Karen & Becky:
Was saddened to hear about your mothers passing. I have often thought of her through the years and wondered how and where she was. She was such a dear and sweet lady when we worked together all those years ago. We shared so many stories and feelings during those four years – wonderful memories!
Sending prayers and heartfelt sympathy to you both and your families.
Fondly,
Lois (Grawe)

Our family is so thankful for all the smiles and kind words you had for everyone in your path. We will try to continue your legacy. In your honor a sister tree to the tree in the Plaza of the Heroines will be planted in Israel. Thus, others will get to enjoy the continued blessings of your life and how your life has touched so many people.
A special thanks to the Smiths for all their excellent care and provision for you over these many years. And as the Obituary says, the people at Andover and the Hospice staff were exceptional.
