Linda and Susie(as I knew you), my condolences on the passing of your mother. You may or may not remember, but your parents were the Witnesses for my parents when they were married. That was in 1940, Ken and Elizabeth Wheeler. My prayers go out to you and your families.

Our deepest sympathy to the family, especially Sue, of Sadie Anderson. We truly loved her 'quiet spirit' and smile. We'll miss her in church, and Bethany circle--she was so faithful in her attendance.
We're sorry to be unable to attend visitation or the funeral, but we will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Andersen family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time of loss.
I have many childhood memories of being at the Andersen home as Linda was a close childhood friend. Sadie always made me feel
welcome in her home, no matter what trouble we girls would get into as we played throughout our childhood.
My parents, Ivan and Dorothy Bouwman were also good friends of the Andersens. Mother still often recalls good times with them.
With much love,
Barb Bouwman Honea

Linda and Susie: You had a fine mother who always welcomed my sister Barb and I into your home as we spent a lot of time playing with you at your grandmother's house in Greenville. I saw your mother regularly in recent years at Alumni and she was always gracious and filled me in on what the two of you were doing. I will miss her. My thoughts are certainly with you during this acute time of loss of a very nice lady.
