Judi and Ken, I was deeply sadden to hear of the death of your mother. Ida was always there to help. I truly appreciated it. My sincere condolences to your families.
Dear Ken, Judi & Families, We were very sorry to hear of the passing of your dear Mom. She was a very special lady. Our Mom, Audrey, and your Mom were friends for many years. I remember they would like to get together at Swiss Chalet. Your Mom was very proud of all of you. May all the wonderful memories you have of her give you comfort at this time and in the days ahead. You will be in our thoughts and prayers. The Gardiner Family - Donna, Stearling, Ivy & Dexter
Dear Ken, Judy and all the Hall Family, I am saddened by this news. Mom's are always special to their children, but your Mom was special to everyone. I know that the thoughts are no doubt overwhelming that nothing ever will quite be the same. That certainly is true, however, you will have the memory of your mom that will live on in your heart and mind as well as in the hearts and minds of all who loved or knew her. I will pray for God's choicest blessings on you and your family at this difficult time. Sincerely and with Sympathy, Nick

Judi and Ken I'm so sorry to hear about the passing of your Mom, she was such a special and cherished friend to me, I knew who to go to when I needed advice and she always gave it to me so sincerely and from the bottom of her heart. She always spoke highly and with pride of both of you and oh! the grand children she loved them so dearly and she was so proud of them all. We had such good times and good laughs together. I will miss her dearly. However the memories will stay forever. I'm thinking of you both and all your family at this difficult time in your lives and praying for you.
