Dear Marie and Leo,
We were so sorry to hear about Bernadette, and feel badly that we didn't get a chance to stop and see her when we were in Paw Paw. She was a such a good soul, and spreading cheer wherever she went in life! A cornerstone of Gliddenburg history, she will be greatly missed! Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Love, Martha and Judi

Dear Leo and Marie,
I'm so sorry to hear about your mom's death. She will be sorely missed, I know. I have such warm memories of her, and so injoyed talking with her and listening to all she had to share.
With her passing, a whole library of our history went also.
I'm glad she was spared suffering in the hospital.
Again, I'm sorry for your loss. Gliddenburg has lost so much with the passing of our historian.
Sincerely,
Martha
