    Dearest Babe. What a woman! I didn't get to know her and the rest of the wonderful Jernstrom family until my Tammy and Linnea became friends. Our living on that very small section of our street that was unpaved and known as "Widows Row," I didn't have the time to venture out much onto your long and lovely paved section of our street, as I was busy with my little ones. However, once I got to meet Babe and the family, I was blessed! So many wonderful memories of your precious mother and father! Babe, in particular, made my life richer and so much of it to do with her friendship. She brought special meaning to my life when I was facing painful challenges. I still have the rosary beads and the prayer card that she sent to me, and I will forever cherish them, as I will always cherish her. . . . .I know that your hearts are breaking, and I wish that I could take away that pain. Try to find comfort in knowing how thrilled she is in being with her husband--your father--and that she, after so many, many years is back in her parents' loving embrace. She's with her loved ones whom she hasn't been with for so long, and they with she. So, here's to another one of God's angels who is in Heaven and looking after you all, for the soul, the spirit never dies. . . . . With sincerest respect, appreciation in knowing Babe and the Jernstom family, and love. . .Karen

    Mary was a wonderful woman. She had such a kind, good heart and it was a privilege to know her. She leaves behind a wonderful family that she taught, nurchard, and loved. They are wonderful because of her tender care through the years. I hope the sweet memories of her help you all through this difficult time. With deepest sympathy and love, Shirley Hill
