Dear Lisa, Doug, David and Katie, My deepest sympathy to you all on your mom and grandma’s passing It is hard to lose our moms, they can never be replaced. I hope you are all doing well. I knew you had moved away and looking at the 8 inches of snow out my front window it just confirms I was right in thinking that you were smart people. Take care and again my prayers are with you all on your loss. Connie Pelzer

She was beautiful. Her kindness and love were infectious. She treated everyone like her family no matter if she had just met you or knew you for twenty years. She was a great mother, wife, friend and most of all an amazing grandmother. She could never imagine how much she is loved and how greatly she is missed. She will always remain in my heart just as if she were still here, forever. I love you with all of my heart grandma, you will never be forgotten.

Just wanted to extend my deepest sympathy on the death of your mother. I hope you remember who I am, one of the four sisters living just kiddie corner from you, we had a lot of fun in that neighborhood going over to each others houses. Many fond memories I have in playing and spending my childhood with all of you girls. But again so sorry on the loss of your Mother, what I remember she was a very nice lady. May she rest in peace.
Marilyn, we will miss you. How ,many pair of shoes are you taking to heaven with you
Love you to the moon and back grammy! Till I see you again.
