Chuck and Jimmy,
We are so sorry to hear about your Mom’s passing. The few times we met so many years ago, she was always so nice to me and such a beautiful, funny person. Know that our prayers are with you during this very difficult time. We’ll be thinking of you.

Chuck and Jimmy, I’m sorry to hear about your mom. I’m sure you don’t remember when you lived in St. Clairsville, but she was such a blessing to me when I lost my mom. I didn’t think I’d make it when you moved to Warwood. She was a great lady and I’m sure you all will miss her terribly.
Chuckie, Jimmie and Lois Jean,
I can’t believe she is gone, but just knowing she is in heaven with my Mother, her Mother and Jimmie makes me feel alot better. I know everyone is really going to miss her because she was always there for all of us, no matter what. I am going to always remember all the wonderful times all of us had together and I can remember all the way back to North Wheeling and when you were born, Chuckie. I even remember when Pattie and Jimmie were married, I was the junior bridesmaid and my dress was blue. There are so many wonderful memories of her and how she surrounded her life around her family.
Love always….Karen
