Judy:
The Lord truly blessed you with such a wonderful mother. I have truly enjoyed getting to know her, but would love to have known her longer. I know in my heart that the Lord send Andy and Kathy to me and the circumstances surrounding Maybelle’s last hours are now and always will be a blessing. With love and appreciation for all you do and in your hours of grief. Always, Judy Ricker and Ola.
Judy and family;
Bobbie and family:
We were all saddened to learn of Maybelle’s death. Our thoughts and sympathies are with you. Mother is distressed she is so out of touch and unable to make it there or even to talk to you directly at this point in time.
At times like this, we become introspective as we remember wonderful moments we shared with Maybelle. Mother and Patty both have many such moments. One of my lasting memories is of her thoughtfulness and kindness. She shared a birthday with my son and yearly remembered him on their birthdays even though I did not often remember hers.
Maybelle was very special to Dad and will always have a special place in our hearts because she worked so hard to take care of her ‘little brother.’ Her specialness and thoughtfulness will always live within us.
