Dear Gary, Linda, Diane & Mr. Warren,
I have such fond memories of your Mother, and Dad also. She was so pretty, always dressed beautifully and so friendly to all who knew her, especially her friends on Deaver View. My Mother thought so much of her and they were friends for years. I am sorry I missed the service, but did not get the message in time. However, my thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this loss of your precious Mother. I miss mine every day.
With sincere sympathy,
Myra C. Ramsey
