  1. Mary Beth and Family,

    I was very saddened to hear of your mother’s passing. You lovingly cared for and supported her during her illness and that is what matters most. May God be with you during this difficult time.

  2. Paul and Family, It has been many years since we saw each other; however, I do remember you from high school and the DMV Office on the Square. We are never ready to give up our loved ones and the only things that sustains us is our Faith and the manifested concern of caring friends. Please know we are thinking of you at this time.
