Barb and John, may you draw strength from the family and friends who are with you in person and spirit. How wonderful to be celebrating the transition to a new life. All is well. Peace be with you. Terry

— Terry Hendricks

To my cousins Geralyn, Kathy, and Barb: I am deeply sorry for your loss. Your Mother was a very special Auntie to me. I remember many "vacations" spent with your parents (before any of you). I will remember her in my prayers and forever treasure my memories. God Bless you and your families. Walt and I will send a donation to St. Jude in memory of your mother. Love to all!

— Christine Chapoton (Walter)
