    Vicki, My sincere sympathies to you and to your family. It has been a long time since we have been in touch, but I've received so many updates about your mother from my Mom (Beverly) after each and every card club get-together, and my mother lost a very dear friend on Sunday. Wendy

    We were saddened by the passing of Joannie. The past few years we haven't had much opportunity to share time together but Ed does have many fond memories of them as children..Ed has had several health issues the past 6 months so we will not be attending the service although we will keep Joannie and your entire family in our thoughts and prayers.....Marlene

    Vicki, We are so sorry to hear about the loss of your mom. We feel blessed to have gotten the opportunity to get to know you and your mom again last summer. Just a prayer I read the other day that may help provide some comfort in your time of loss. "Eternal joy and memories stay in our hearts forever, strengthening our special bond that parting cannot sever. We will keep your mom in our prayers, God Bless

    DEAREST VICKI, CANNOT TELL YOU HOW SORRY I AM TO HEAR OF MOM PASSING. SHE WAS A SPECIAL LADY I HAD THE PLEASURE OF KNOWING FOR THE PAST 30 YEARS. WE HAD MANY LAUGHS TOGETHER AND SHE NEVER FORGOT MY BIRTHDAY. WE ALSO SHARED THE LOVE OF THE COLOR PURPLE. KNOWING YOUR MOM WAS A PLEASURE AND LOVING HER WAS EASY. MAY YOU FIND COMFORT AND PEACE DURING THIS DIFFICULT TIME. GOD BLESS AND LOVE.

    Just wanted to express my sincere sympathy to you and your family Vicki. I was shocked by the news of your mothers passing as she seemed far to youthful and energetic to leave us so soon. I consider it a privilege to have known her and will certainly miss our spirited conversations! Please keep in touch. May God bless you and your family!
