    Pat and Ted and family,

    I'm so sorry to hear of your mom's passing. She lived a good, long life, 103! 
    I'll miss her warm smile and sweet ways. I'm happy that I got to see her at Rose's funeral. 
    Comfort and prayers for all of you.

    Love, Dianne

    Dears Pat, Ted and family,

    We will miss Aunt Grace. She was blessed to have lived a long and wonderful life. As Ellie commented, Jo, Grace and Rose are off shopping and having lunch on this Wednesday, their special day.

    Love to you all, 

    Kathy
