Dear Family of Thelma Baker,
I want to express my sincere sympathy for the loss of your loved one. You can be assured that comfort and encouragement can be found in the Bible. At Revelations 21: 4 you can read of a time when pain and suffering will be no more. What a wonderful hope. Please take care of yourselves.
Sincerely
Dear Mel, Susanne, & Family Our thoughts & prayers are with you at this time. May God bless all of you. Bert & Shirley
I was sorry to read of your loss. Back in 1973I think we met your parents when we purchased their home at 132 Grant Ave. Both parents were very kind people and happy that we were able to buy the home. It was home for the Fasts for about 30 years and saw lots of good times – with two growing up daughters. I have now remarried and moved away but left with wonderful memories and I thank your parents for helping with that. May God bless you and be with you at this time.
Marlene,
I saw your mother’s obituary in the Wheeling paper and wanted to extend my condolences. I have so many good memories of playing at your house and having dinner with you, your mother and your father. There aren’t any words that I can say that can make any loss like this easier – time and the love and support of family and friends are the only things that can do that. But I wanted you to know that I was thinking of you.
Norm & Betty Jo,
Was sorry to read of your Mothers passing. It isn’t easy losing a parent even though we see what they go through in the Nursing Home.
Please extend my condolences to your family.
