Dear Jeanne Marie, Terry and Kevin,
My deepest sympathies on the death of your mother. I have fond memories of growing up – rembering her as one of the “strong” mothers in the neighborhood. She was a lady in the true meaning of the word. Her style and her sense of dignity were her true values. She was so very focused on you children, as you were her world. All of you will be in my prayers. Much love, Ann Marie Robinson

Dear Jeanne Marie, Terry and Kevin,
Your mother was a beautiful woman inside and out!
We remember her lovely white Christmas trees with small pink or blue lites.
She always had a smile and positive comment for everyone and was a great friend of our parents.
God bless you at this time.
With sympathy,
Ann and Bill
