Both my wife Judy (formerly Kitchen staff) and I, John (Floor care) send our love and sympathy to both of you in this time of loss. We all will remember your mother’s smile and cheerful spirit, as well as here sense of humor. Remember the flowers and pillow discussion we all had together? I’m sure you’ll think of her often as the season’s colors brighten you life as you both brightened each others life.

We were very sorry to hear of your mother's death. She will always have a special place in our hearts. When I was living in Bloomington before Floyd moved there, she and I had some wonderful times together, going out to eat, to the movies and just talking about our families.
We also had some great times in Salem and she helped spoil Brad. We know you and your family will miss her, but always remember how much she loved you and cared about everyone she know. God Bless you and your families at this time.
Love,

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your Mother. Although I did'nt know your Mother I remember as a small child walking to your house before school to see if you would walk with me to Central. Your Mother always welcomed me in but as an adult I realized what a busy time of the morning that was for her yet she was so gracious accepting my early morning intrusion. Please know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time.Posted: 9/6/2007 by Terry Garner Fitzgerald of Salem, IL 62882, USA Dear Judy,
My sympathy goes out to you and your family for the death of your mother. My mother still lives but suffers from advanced senile dementia; my father died in 2004. My husband of 35 years died in 2003; I am familiar with the loss of those we love and the grief that follows.
I will keep you and your family in my prayers and will include a prayer for the repose of your mother's soul.
Sincerely,
Marilyn (Wimberly) Ponzer-MorrisPosted: 9/7/2007 by Marilyn Ponzer-Morris of Houston, TX, USA Dear Judy,

I am so sorry to hear that your Mom has passed away. Although I only knew her to wave or to smile at, as I walked on to my own Mom's room, I know that she was a great lady. How else could she have inspired such patience, love and care as she did in you, her selfless daughter? You have honored your mother in the truest sense. You have "soothed her brow, and watched over and protected her", as the lovely poem states.You are an inspiration to all of us, as we care for our dying parents.
I thank you for all that you did for my Dad and me. I will pray for your Mom and for you,in the words of the great Walt Whitman, "...Over the treetops I float thee a song.." From Derry to Chester, know that I sing your Mom to heaven, and I sing your praises in my heart.Posted: 9/7/2007 by Pat Fowler of Derry, NH, USA Judy, I am so sorry to read about your Mother. I remember all the visits with your Mother and how my Mother enjoyed being around Ernestine and the many laughs they had. I don't know if you heard but my Mother passed away on December 6,2006. I am so glad I brought her here to be near us. My family misses her very much as I know you do your Mother. I think you and I were very lucky to be close to our Mothers. Wish we lived closer so we could visit...please keep in touch. Your in our thoughts and prayers. Love, Vicki and Gene KoehlerPosted: 9/7/2007 by Vicki(Cantrell)Koehler of Phoenix, Arizona 85050, Maricopa Judy
