Condolences

Richard and Phyllis Pierce - Jan 28, 2016

To Susan and David, Bob, Jason and Karen, and Tanya: As I always announced myself to Aunt Catherine on the phone, this is Nephew Richard feeling your loss right along with you. You know that in the past few years we were drawn closer to Aunt Catherine than ever before and always looked forward to staying at her house on our trips back east. I know you miss her and so do we, but now she is healed and at peace.

Terry & Peggy Trapp - Jan 27, 2016

Bob & Susan,
Sorry for your loss. Your mom was a good old gal, and I’m sure she will be truly missed. We will keep your family in our prayers.
Lots of love!
Terry & Peggy Trapp
