Mark and Anne, I was sorry to hear about your mom''s death. I had every intention to visit with you either at the visitation or the funeral and I didn''t make either one. Reading your names brought back pleasant memories of your days in chorus. Hope things are going well with you both. TR

Tim, Mary, Pat.. and all, While surfing tonight, I was saddened to be confronted by this news. Your mothers smile in the Obit brought back fond memories. Memories such as, Mrs. Miller bringing kool-aid and soda crackers to the front porch while we played chess or cards. I feel honored to have known her. She was a significant part of the cast that made our rockwellian neighborhood. With condolence to you all. John Schachtner
