Dear Alan & March, Ron, Bobby & Chris, Tom& Linda, and grandchildren

My deepest sympathy to all of you on the passing of a wonderful lady, the best neighbor( along with your Dad), a hardworking woman, compassionate, a loving Mother and friend.
She will always hold a place in my heart, though I have not seen here but once when she moved to Charleroi.
Her obituary , picture and tribute you have shared with others is representative of the wonderful, caring, loving children you all are, who held your Mom with the deepest respect and loyalty.
As I look at her picture, I hear her laughter that was so unique to her, and ever present. It so matched her personality of a lady who loved life, loved people, who was genuine in her words and thoughts. She was consistently upbeat, despite the difficulties of life, we have from time to time. There was never a moment of dislike, disappointment, or discontentment between us, as neighbors.
Her appearance was forever young looking, along with a sweetness she beautifully represented.
I know she is surrounded by angels and rests peacefully amidst their wings.
My heart goes out to all of you. There is no one who can replace a Mother.
With love,
Marilynn

I finally started crying. I will miss her and you will miss her more.
She was my favorite Aunt, and I learned a lot from her when I was younger. One time, she taught me how to make a mayonnaise cake. You guys came in to lick the bowl. I still have the recipe.
When we were in the yard on River Hill, someone threw a dead snake(run over by the mowing tractor) at me as a joke. I cried then too. She was there for me then and she will always be with me. And, I am so sorry I cant be there.
Its only a few times in life that we get to reflect on a person, she was very special.
My heart and prayers go out to you now.
