Dennis has such fond memories of spending time at your house. He remembers your mom as being someone who was always willing to chauffeur Jimmy and his friends anywhere they wanted to go. Those friends made up quite a crew: Dennis, Jolla, Billy H., David Mc. to name a few. We are sorry for your loss, McGuire Family.

Dear Patty,

I am so sorry to hear about your mom passing away. Know that she is in a better place. God has her in his arms in Heaven.

Dear Kimmie,

I am so sorry to hear about your grandma. I know that you two were very close, and I know how much she loved to watch you play softball. This is not an easy thing to go through. Your grandma now is with your mom in Heaven. I lost my dad last year, but what keeps my faith is surrounding myself with family and prayer. We will always miss them, but we will see them again one day. Until then, we have them to watch over us.

My prayers are with you,
Mrs. Berry (Miss Schaefer)
