So sorry to hear of your Mother’s passing Cheryl and Dianne. Praying and thinking of the family at this difficult time,
My deepest sympathy and prayers for all the family. Mary was my Avon rep. for years. We had some wonderful conversations. Loved her.
I have fond memories of my Aunt Mary and her hospitality when, in my childhood, we came up to Tipton in order to go the the Indy 500 time trials. At holiday family gatherings her infectious smile and laughter were a delight to this little boy. Blessed be the memories of her children and their generations.
Sincere condolences to Cheryl and Steve. We really enjoyed visiting and catching up with your Mom and Dad every Summer. So sorry for your loss.
Cheryl,
You are in our thoughts and prayers.
