    Jody, Dickey, Tam,
    Though time, location, and the ongoing loss off family has slowly drawn us apart, in our upbringing together I have always considered and counted you as my brothers and sister…more so than the brothers who would never really accept me (or you for that matter). I think of having visited her a couple of times a week during lunch time at Sanitary Dash-coming up behind her for a good startle; sitting on the stair ledge every few months handing her the chandelier parts to polish; our tradition of my visiting her bearing chocolate ice cream and sitting down with her for a bowl; and watching her non-stop vacuuming, telling me how much she loved to see the swirls left on a freshly vacuumed carpet 🙂 Though, out of respect for my own mother who I lost 23 years ago, I rarely called her mom, the sentiment was always there, and I know that through the years she was aware of it. Over the past few years my surgeries, devastating family break up, and lack of transportation have prevented me from getting around as much as I would have liked, know that you are always thought of when considering who is in my family, that to my children you have always been “Aunt and Uncle”, and that you and yours are thought of and prayed for now during your period of loss and grief.
    With love, respect, and empathy,
    Louis

    Brother Dick, I am truly sorry to hear that you have lost your Mom. It is some consolation I hope that you realize that she was loaned to you by God. She has done what He asked of her and He has taken her home to be with Him. I will offer a Chaplet of Devine Mercy in her name tonight. Regards, Herm Bishop

    Dear Jody, Dick, and Tammy,

    Am so very sorry to hear of the passing of your Mom. Such a beautiful lady inside and out. Over the years I have thought of your Mom and fondly smile when I remember places we have gone, funny things she said and did, and how she cared for her family. The stories abound with your Mom, don’t they? I am truly saddened by her passing, and wish you all peace and strength as you struggle to move on. With sincerest sympathies, Lynn
