How many fun memories I have of our families spending time together. Your mom was always there when we needed someplace for my brother, Jerry, to spend time while the rest of us were away. You all are in my prayers.

Mrs. Schick was always a good example to me of a godly mom. I went to her home many times as a teenager and she always made me feel at home. My love and condolences go to the family. You are very blessed to have such a sweet mom.I am praying for you.
I regret that I couldn't attend the memorial service. I am in the NW with my family this month. God bless you.

Dear Shick Family,
I am saddened by the news of your mom and grandma leaving the earth. As I walked the community and watched her for many years, I have so much admiration for the woman I saw. Her love and devotion to her family is a wonderful legacy to leave us here. Your mom and grandma was a role model for us all as to how God intends families to live.
God Bless you all as you face your loss. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Sincerely,
Mary Ellen Clery
