Anne & Bill- So sorry to hear of your Mother's passing.  She was such a sweet neighbor at Quail Meadows.

Anne and Bill, I was sorry to hear of your mother's passing.  I have such fond memories of both your father and your mother when we worked together at the office.  Those were some great times in my life.  My condolences to you both.

Dear Anne & Bill,
I'm sorry for your loss. I will always hold Aunt Mary (& your dad) in a special place in my heart.  Our families enjoyed so many fun times & picnics together when we were all young.  I'll always remember that twinkle in Aunt Mary's  blue eyes and sparkle in her smile, most of all her genuine  kindness.  In my minds eye I can see her wearing her silver & turquoise jewelry sitting on the dock with a book in her lap at "Beadle Lake?"  And I think of how  she enjoyed quiet time at Lake Michigan & loved Mackinaw Island.  May God comfort you both and your family as you say goodbye at this difficult time. 
Our thoughts & prayers are tender with you all.
Upon a loved one passing...I like to remember them with the theme song of the old Roy Rogers Show, "Until we meet again."  May that thought comfort you, that through Christ Jesus, we will one day be reunited with our loved ones
We will do a remembrance gift to the chosen (and awesome!) charity "Wild Dog Rescue." 
Deepest sympathies.
Lois Celeste (Schroeter) & Ted Twardowski

I'm so sorry that you've lost your Mother, Anne and Bill.  I'm remembering all the early good times.  My condolences to you.

Oh Anne, so sorry to hear this, what wonderful memories I have of Goose Chase days at the hotel, and lunches with you.....peace

Jack and I are sad to learn of May's passing.  Jack went through State High with Mary and I became good friends with her at Western and had the privilege of being in her wedding to Ron.  We remember Mary as having a happy, cheerful disposition.  Many memories.  Our condolences to the family.

Prayers for your family.  I graduated from high school with your parents who were both very special people.

Sing for joy, O heavens! Rejoice, O earth! Burst into song, O mountains! For the LORD has comforted his people and will have compassion on them in their suffering.

 Growing up in Kalamazoo. Our family is small. Our Grandma, two Aunts, Uncles and two cousins.. The memories are endless. The Memories are Priceless.... This is what makes family gatherings so special..... Meeting together at Wilderness State Park is a life full of special times. And then you grow-up, marry, move away, have children. It's fun to reconnect. Share memories, meet spouses and cherish your childhood... This is what makes our family so special. Anne & Bill ~ Aunt Mary had so many cheerful funny stories. She always wanted to know what was going on in each of our lives. She really had that "Aunt" sparkle in her eyes.... She will be truly missed.... God Bless!!
