Dear Ginny and family,
I'm very sorry for you to read about your mother's death. You are in my thoughts and prayers. I trust that you all have many happy memories of her, and that they will be a support and comfort to you. I remember her working at DePrez's even though I wasn't all that old, and she would stop and talk whenever I was in the store.
Peace to you all, Charles

Ginny,
I will not be able to attend the funeral due to my work, but you will be in my prayers on such a difficult day. Tonight my Mom and I were remembering the many times with visited with your Mother at Deprez. I loved to go to the toy department to see her. My mom bought her first bike from her. She was a joy to be around. She loved everyone, especially children. You were trully blessed to have her for your mother.
We love you.
Anita
