Dear Paulette, Linda,Sarah, Ruthie,
I am sorry to learn of your mother's death. She raised 4 wonderful women s of whom she could be very proud. You are each in my thoughts.
Hope to visit with you personally.

Your uncle John Grey always spoke so well of your mother and the Young clam continued their fondness of her.

With deepest sympathy for you as you celebrate your Mother's life,
Aunt Sharon

Dear Paula,

I remember with joy working with your mother in her garden. She was both an avid gardener and a delightful person. Being with Miss Young made me a better person and I hope to pass these things along ...I remember she said,'If someone does you a kindness, pass it along!'

You and your family are in my prayers...I know your mother does not need them...for God will be with her now.

Love,

Ingram
