Lynn and family,
I have never met your mom, but I felt like I knew her very well. Thanks for sharing some of her life stories with me Lynn. You are my dear friend and loving/caring daughter. Your mom was very lucky to have you. My thoughts and prayers are with the entire family.

Jon, Lynn, Susie, Danielle and Justin,
Please know each one of you are in my thoughts and prayers.
Your mom/grandma was very special to me!! I have many loving memories of your mom from throughout my life. I especially hold dear my many visits to her at Clark, special times on her birthday when her loving daughter Lynn brought a home cooked meal & a special birthday cake. Also, the times I took Aunt Kate to see her & we spent the night at Clark. Your mom was so Happy at that loving home & it was sure a joy to see all the activities she enjoyed while living there. I will hold dear to my heart when Lynn & I took her to church the last Sunday of her life & feeding her lunch on Monday, Sept. 21. We took your mom to the rose garden & Lynn took her on a joy ride in that new chair she graduated to. She was sooo Happy & Peaceful those last two days I had the privilege to spend with her. May you hold dear all your beautiful and loving memories, as I will, as well. She Loved each one of you so very much!!!!! With my deepest sympathy to each one of you. I love you cousins!!!!!

My mom, Dorothy Neblo Church, went to nursing training with “Aunt” Anita. I remember spending time with Aunt Anita when I was little and her taking me to Mary Poppins. Mom continued to stay in touch with Aunt Anita over the years. “Aunt” Marge (Hoops) contacted mom about Anita’s passing and we wish to extend our deepest sympathies to her family. May God bless you all.
