Condolences Left For Theodora Grummel
Dear Ann, Mark, and Paula,
I am grateful I have been blessed with the friendship of your mother. Now we will have someone to pray to, as she prays for you. Maybe we can be comforted that your mother has at last met her father and that she is reunited with her dear mother, brothers, and friend, Shorty. I am happy to have learned so much from your mother about her life, about her family and friends, and about her work. I am happy, too, that we were able to find so many meaningful stories in the books “Chicken Soup for the Soul, volume six,” and “Chicken Soup for the Grandparents’ Soul.”
May God bless your family always.

To Teddy’s Family,
I was so sorry to hear about Teddy’s passing. She was a sweet friend to my Mother, Marie O’Brien, while my Mother lived at St. Paul’s. (They sat at the same dining table.) She was an encouragement to me – I will always remember her kind words. I am very sorry for your loss. May God rest her soul. Sincerely, Ellen Martin, Sammamish, Washington
