My thoughts and prayers are with your family. I knew Shirley and your father, they were one of my finest customers when I worked at Marsh Supermarket, I always enjoyed seeing them and chatting with them. Shirley was quite a woman. She will be dearly missed. Now she has joined your father in a world of no worry or pain. May she rest in peace.

Dear Judy and Dave,
Ever since I met you, I heard of your deep commitment to your Mom. The care and love you gave her must be a solace to you today. Losing a Mom is incredibly difficult no matter what her age may have been. My own mom&s passing started a new stage in my life - it was a life-changing event. I hope that the good memories and your care in the last years of her life bring you peace and fill you with good feelings. Abe and I send you our sincere condolences.
Much love,
Rachel

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

I so wish I could have been there with you. Please know that for the past week nothing has been more on my mind than all of you and Shirley.

She must have been a wonderful mom to produce all of you, your humor, intelligence, support for each other everything. I am so fortunate to be part of your family.

Hold on to each other, as you have been this past week, for the months and years to come.

With a loving and reflective heart.

Suzi
