My mother died this past May, and I miss her every day. I admire the loving care and companionship you gave your mother through the years. Please accept my sympathy. Rita Guenin

Her Christianity was solidly anchored and extended to every aspect of life. We came to know each of you as she shared her gratitude for your accomplishments and your faithful attention to her. I look forward to seeing her again in heaven.

Words are inadequate at this time of losing a parent. My mother (Sara Emmerson Peters) and your mother graduated from AHS together in '35. They reconnected at their 50th high school reunion. They were in a bridge club together years ago. After the reunion they wrote and called one another. I spoke with your mother several times on the phone after my mother died. She spoke so well of her children. She had some relatives that lived in my subdivision, Rock Gate Estates. They had such cute twin boys. With deepest sympathy to all of you. Carolyn Peters Gorline.

My deepest condolences to you - David, Carol, Bill, and your families. I worked with your mother at CommTech and we kept in touch over the years. I was sad when she moved to Marion as it meant I did not get to visit with her when I returned to Toledo to see my family, but I know she was so happy to be close to family and I am glad she was able to enjoy that.I have so many good memories of Idabel - she did so many kind things for me over the years and thinking of her truly makes me smile. I know you will all miss her very much and wanted you to know that my thoughts and prayers are with each of you.
