My heart and prayers are with you all. What a wonderful lady, I was lucky to have known both your parents. That twinkle in her eye, as she would smile, and ask what we were doing. I am sure all the great memories will help through the coming times. Fondly,Smith

Dear Sherry and family,
I'm so sorry to hear about the passing of your mom. I am lucky to still have both of my parents, but I think I can understand how it must feel to lose them. My sincere sympathy goes out to you and all of your family members and friends who will miss your mom so much, but will never forget her.

Dearest Terry & Corky, Gerry, Mary & Rick, and Sherry & Dave
We want you to know our thoughts and prayer's. are with you and your families at this difficult time. Your Mom was very special to me, as she was like a second Mother to me, during our childhood years.
Both of our families were very blessed to have had such loving and caring parents as we had, which in turn provided all of us with wonderful childhood memories.
The last time I saw your Mom was this past Memorial Day, as she was sitting on the porch waiting for the parade, so I walked over and talked to her, and asked her, if she knew who I was, and she said, of course, your Connie.
Since Florida has its distance, we will be unable to attend the funeral services, but we want you to know, we will be thinking of all of you.Hopefully, Cyndi will be our representation. May God give each of you the added strength you will need at this time, and may precious memories of your Mother comfort you.
With deepest sympathy and love to all of you.
Connie & Leon Puzevic
