"Thank you for your kind thoughts about my mother. Her death was very sudden. At 88 she was in such good health and loved playing bridge as often as possible. Barbara, of course I remember you. My email address for any of you who would like more information or correspondence is jashby1349@yahoo.com I would love to hear from you. Thank you for your caring thoughts. Janelle"
"Janelle, Perhaps you don't remember your old friend from elementary school in Garner, but I have very fond memories of you and your mom. Your mom did my hair weekly at her shop in your house until I moved away in 7th grade. Imagine a 10-12 year old girl getting her hair professionally styled every week! Your mom was such a nice person. My mom, who died in 1997, considered her a great friend. Warm thoughts, Barbara"
"God bless you and keep you."
"Marie, I'm sorry that you are gone,but I know that you are in God's loving arms. We worked together, and I always remember your great desserts that you brought to our celebrations. I remember you as a Christian lady. Always dressed nice and pretty. "
"Marie, This is unreal that you have left us. My memory of you, is this summer and our bridge games and visits. Then at the Christmas party at Prairie View, the fun, and you dressed to a T, and even Christmas socks on to finish you outfit. I will miss you dear friend. Darlene and Jim Reinig, Mesa, AZ"
