I am sorry for your loss. I got the pleasure of meeting her at Cedarhurst. She always called me "Jamie" which made me smile. What a delightful lady she was and I miss her being around!

Our sympathy to Roberta and Randy and all the family. I remember your father better seeing him many times through the years mostly at Lakeview. I remember him as a very happy and jovial fellow. God be with you.

Your mom was always the most sincere and happy person. She was supportive and positive when I was around her. I will always remember her being there whenever Rita was involved in events doing whatever she could to help things go well. May your memories continue to be there to help ease the pain. We are so very sorry for your loss. May God be with you, and the Holy Spirit comfort you during this time.

My deepest sympathies to the family. I had the pleasure of knowing Velma for several years while I was working in Fairview Heights. I have never met a classier or more genuinely friendly person. She was a true lady and will be missed!
