Dear Tim, Tom and Todd,

I was so sorry to hear of your Mom's passing.  She was a beautiful, wonderful lady and she will be missed by many. I guess our consolation is that she is at home with so many other members of the family.

I was sorry that I couldn't make it to the service, but please know that you were, and will continue to be, in my thoughts and prayers.

With love to all of you and your families.

Kathleen (Reilly) Castleberry and family.

Tim, Todd and Tom,

I knew your mom growing up and loved hearing her laugh and remember the great whit and sense of humor she had.  I spent many a Christmas in her mother and father's house in Pueblo along with her sister Jean and Louise and brother Lee Jr.  I also knew your dad, Charles and he and your mom were a real treat to be around during those holidays.  Of course you will miss her and I hope the Lord will comfort you guys and help you remember all the wonderful things about her.  Tears for and memories of a loving mother is a good thing.
