To Val and al the family,
I loved your Mom (Mimi) very much and one of the reasons was she always made me feel special and whoever she was around. I didn’t get to see her that often but I really enjoyed visiting with her in
April on my trip back home. I will always remember her positive, cheerful attitude and that beautiful smile. She was special and we will all miss her. I’m sorry for your loss and the pain you and your family are feeling.
I know it has been and long and difficult week for you all. I have been looking through pictures of past trips with fond memories. Your mother and grandmother was a very special person in my life. She will be missed.
Laurelle will be missed by all her friends in Maine . Memories of Laurelle, her brother Thornton, sister in law, Pinkey and niece Carrie of happy times with us in Maine,are great memories with her and her family. Laurelle , a graduate of Richmond High School, Richmond, Maine was a faithful alumni member attending each year, enjoying seeing her classmates. She will be remembered as a beautiful woman with a special sparkle in her eyes. Our love goes to her entire family. Mary and Clyde Hinkley
My thoughts and prayers are with you. I know God will give you strength. She was such a wonderful, sweet person, I really enjoyed seeing her at Stilwell Retirement Center – She always had a beautiful smile.
Dear Valerie & Family,
I was so sorry to hear about your mother’s passing away Tuesday. I knew that she was in pretty bad shape and I know you all were more or less prepared, but we’re never ready to lose those we love. Please know that you and your family are in my prayers. May God bless you all and be very close to each of you now and in the difficult days ahead.
I have wonderful memories of my Mother, Mildred Page, and Laurie together… best of friends. So know they are having a wonderful reunion in heaven. They talked all the time. I had to shush them once in church. Brother Dave had a hard time talking over them!! She was a wonderful person.
Val (and the whole family),
I’m remembering your Mom’s sweet smile as she sat at the dinner table listening to all our travel plans just one month ago. In her quiet way, she always added so much brightness to our get-togethers. We loved seeing her. We have a wonderful memory of her trip to Albuquerque and spending the evening with her. But most of all I’ll always think of her walking around your beautiful back yard or just swinging, just enjoying herself. Wish we could be there with you and all the family. We love you. God bless all of you. We know Mimi is resting peacefully now.
my thoughts and prayers are with you. Your mother is beautiful and I know she will be missed. With love
