Dear David and family,
We are so sorry to hear of your mum’s passing. What a wonderful lady! She was always so kind and supportive to us and it was a privilege to be one of her friends. Her contribution to Elmwood along with your dad’s was immense. There will be a large hole in the heart of Elmwood now. Please accept our heartfelt sympathy. Your mum was very special and we will miss her very much. Memories live on.

Mary, I am so sorry to hear about the death of your mom. As you know, your parents were very good to me during my teen-Central SS years. They included me in so many of your family events. I have many fond memories of both your dad and your mom. I know your mom will be missed. Mike and I send your family our most sincere condolences. Sue Patten van Baardwyk

She mae a significant contribution and will be remembered fondly both for all she did for the Auxiliary and for her wonderful personality.
Mary and David – Very sorry for your loss. She was such a nice lady.
