Tracy, Terry, and all–I’m so sorry for your loss. Sorry, I can’t be there, to support you in person, but you all will be my thoughts and prayers. I have many fond memories of relationships with Tracey, Terry and Bea. And, I also, have Grand-Cats, so can understand the love received by them.

Terry, Tracey and family,
This note of true sympathy, is from Faye Mimm.
Your mother was/is a gem and I know that she will be missed terribly by you. I think of your family and the interaction with each and every one… starting with your Grandmother and on down. My memories are all fond memories. I still make some of your Mother’s recipes and I still have the pink and blue clothes pins that I gathered at your baby shower, Tracy. I lost my Mother last year and I know that it is tough. Your Mother is in good hands, now. Please, accept my most sincere sympathies about you precious Mother.

Dear Terri and Tracy,
I am so very sorry for your loss.  Your mother was a lovely person.  My mother (Martha Wise) enjoyed her company when they played cards together  with Rudy Groff and Annabelle Schultz. I got to know her from Lafayette School when I taught Tracy in kindergarten. My mother is gone now, too, but she will always be with me, as your mother will be with you. Again, my condolences.  My thoughts and prayers are with you.
In sympathy,
Diane Wise Flick Huber
