Dear Coleen, I have fond memories of your mom during the volleyball season, when we took trips together. She was a kind and wonderful person and I am glad to have known her. Please accept our sympathy.

Bea and family--I am sorry for your loss. I wish I could be there with you to celebrate your mother's life and accomplishments. I know one of her greatest accomplishments was raising wonderful children. I had the great fortune to be assigned Bea's roommate my freshman year in college and she shared with me many stories about her family. I fondly remember how each and every night Bea would say "God bless you" just before we fell asleep because that was how her mom said goodnight to her. What a loving and wonderful mother Mrs. Cunningham was! So I end by saying how lucky you were to call Mrs. C. "mom" and God bless you Cunningham children and grandchildren..........Love, "Katie from Minnesota"

To Sean and family,

I am very sorry for your loss. I remember the phone conversations I had with your mother, many years ago. She was very kind and sweet, and also very encouraging to the young woman that I was at the time.

Sending you thoughts and prayers from Minnesota.

To Sean,
Tim and I are very sorry to hear about your Mom. We met her at your family home in LaGrange for an annual pig roast. We enjoyed it and your Mom was so gracious.
She is at peace and now with your Dad.
If there is anything we can do, just ask.
