I'm so sorry for your loss. Madalyn was my mother's nurse so many years ago and she gave her wonderful care.
Dear Nancy and family Please accept my condolences of the passing of your Mother. Years have gone by Nancy, but the memories cannot be erased of our Mother's friendship and our growing years together. Thinking of you at this time. Charlotte Simmons Muzleski
I will never forget how my Grandma always peaked on my neck, her loving touch and how she always cooked for me a frog in hole when I came to vist them. I will miss her a lot, but I have no question that she is on the other side and God has a wonderful angel added to heaven. Love Ya Always. You still live in my heart. Sina Shirk
