Dear Cindy, When I saw your moms picture all of these memories flooded back from high school. I really don't have much contact with anyone anymore because well don't need to go there. The good times rideing motorcycles up at the farm, and many many more good times. I will never forget how you delt with your mom at the same school you went too. At lease it was elem. not high school, lol. But you and your mom always had such a great relationship. All the kids loved your mom she was like this bigger than life person and she made you feel that you could be that person too. Her wit was great Cindy I miss you and your family hope this finds you OK as you can be. I know when DaD passed after his fight with Cancer even though I knew it wasen't going to get any better I still was not ready.Cindy and Family thank you for letting me know you guys I truly feel blessed. Love ya Mark

Ms. Marjorie Duff was my school teacher at Barboursville Jr. High. She was very much a lady and a dedicated teacher who I do remember well. Just stopping by to offer my respect and condolences to her family.

Dear Kathy,
I'm so sorry to see that you've lost your mother. I just went to a service for Sandy Eckley Dixon's mother this past Sat. It's a sad time.
I'm working during all your visitation hours, but know I'll be thinking of you and wishing you and all your family my sympathy.
Sincerely,
Gale K.

Dear Cindy & family of Marge,
Although I never met your mother, what a great woman and legend she left behind. I'm sure she made a positive impact on those who were lucky enough to know her.And if her sense opf humor was anything like Cindy"s, well, my life was sorely remiss in not knowing her, too!
Love & Peace to you all and keep the good memories of her close to your heart and in your thoughts.

I want to express my sincere sympathy to all you girls. Iworked with Marge for many wonderful years and will always cherish the good times that I had with her. She was always so much fun to be around and kept us all in stitches. I will be out of town Thanksgiving week so I will be unable to attend the Memorial service you've planned. Please know that I loved Marge dearly.

My sympathy goes to Kathy as she remembers her mother and the many kind things her mother did for her and the family. I remember going to the big white framed house that Kathy lived in after she and I went to our Senior Prom together. Her mother welcomed me and the other kids after our date, just like she did in her class room through the years. I offer my best in this time of sorrow. May she go with God into his eternal kingdom....
