    To my dear cousin Jeannie, this saddens me so and I can only imagine your grief and remember mine when my Mom passed. They are together now and I am sure they are all catching up on old times. As the generation before us dwindles , their togetherness in Heaven increases. Prayers and thoughts to you.

    Dear Jeannie,
    I just got word of your mother’s passing. I am so sorry. Your mother was so kind to invite me into her home when I was young and gracious towards me as I grew to know her. She had a heart of gold. She also was my mother’s BEST roommate at Westview and my mother, Sophie, is so saddened so hear the news. I called you to get them to be roommates again……..we didn’t know. Hope you are OK.
    Love, Sandy Bob & Andrew Montie, Sophie, Ben & Roseann (Montie) Kondysar
