ALTHOUGH I AM PART OF THE FAMILY, I JUST THINK ALL WHO READ THIS SHOULD KNOW THAT MY MAW MAW WAS THE MOST WONDERFUL, SELFLESS PERSON IN THE WORLD. I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO LIVE WITHOUT HER. BUT I FEEL THAT WE MUST CARRY ON HER PRESENCE IN THE KINDNESS WE SHOW TO OTHERS. PLEASE BE KIND TO ONE ANOTHER ALWAYS, AND TREASURE EACH AND EVERY MOMENT YOU HAVE WITH YOUR MOTHER, GRANDMOTHER, ETC. YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN GOD WILL CALL THEM HOME. WHEN THE FOUNDATION OF YOUR FAMILY HAS BEEN TAKEN FROM YOU, YOU MUST STRIVE TO HOLD WHATS LEFT TOGETHER. FAMILY IS THE MOST PRESCIOUS GIFT EVER GIVEN. SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO FIGHT TO KEEP IT TOGETHER. SO, TO ALL OF MY FAMILY, AUNTS, UNCLES, COUSINS, ALL OF US, WE HAVE TO TREASURE OUR TIME TOGETHER AND STICK TOGETHER NO MATTER WHAT. THAT IS WHAT MAW MAW WOULD WANT. I LOVE YOU ALL DEARLY.

I did not hear about your mother until Monday morning. I'm sorry I was not there for you when either of your parents passed away.
I know these words are of little comfort but I hope you know how much I care about you and your family. I will keep you in my thoughts hoping it will help get you through this difficult time.
Deepest Sympathy Linda Stanley

Diana,Becky and family. I am so sorry for the loss of your mother. This really was a shock to me, as I had just seen her at election time. I just heard about her passing. She was a wonderful person and so kind to everyone. May God give you strength until you meet her again. So sorry.

My dearest and longest friends, my heard aches for all of you and as you know I, of all people should know. 2006 is a year I will never forget and now for you all, 2008 will be a year that stays with you always. Carolyn, my sister, and I stopped by to see Jeanne just this month and had a very nice visit with your mother and she acted as though she was tickled so that we stopped. I am so thankful for that visit with her, you all know that she was so very special to us. Even though I can't be there with you at this sad time in your life, I will be with you in heart and spirit.
All my love
Janice Perry Tschirhart
