I will be thinking of you when you lay your mother to rest at Price near my own parents.   Under ordinary circumstance I would be with you  but due to the current circumstances, I will only be with you in spirit.
I have many memories of your folks, the earliest going back when I was a little girl and they were just married. I'm sure you mother's spirit was in this house that you all lived in and loved; the house that my family has enjoyed for many years.  God Bless you all,
   Rebecca Blue George

Dear Sandra, Richard , Jim and families,

I was saddened to learn of the loss with which you are coping. Your mother's life is one to celebrate. She lived it fully for 97 years. Mary Florence maintained the tradition of both the Shuman family and the Blue family in their deep roots in the community as well as their service. She passed that gift on to her children and grandchildren.

My love and deepest sympathy,

Barbara
