Dear Leslie & Family: I was sorry to hear of your mom's passing. I know what a great relationship you had. May God hold you in the palm of His hands through your grieving and adjustment to life without your dear one.
Dear Leslie and family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this time of loss, but my thoughts of "mother" Ludwick, takes me back to my years at Webster Elementary when your mother answered our call for a volunteer. she was so loyal and dependable and became a valued member of our staff. It wasduring that association that I began to call her "mother" ludwick, a greeting between the two of us, that has endured over the years. Iknow she blessed me, and I hold those memories as very precious.Well done thou good and faithful servant.
Leslie, Connie called and told me of your mom's death. You have my deepest sympathy. She was a fine lady and one of the first people I made acquaintence with after moving to Hillsboro early 50's.
Leslie, We know you feel a huge loss with the death of your mom after living with her for so many years. It is hard to believe she was 92. She lived a long life and we're sure she was ready to go to her family and friends in heaven where they waited with open arms. We will keep her and you and your family in our prayers. God bless you and we are nearby if you should need anyone. Love, Ray & Betty
