I was shocked to see your Mom's beautiful face in the Obituary. I have been friends with Mom for years and loved your Dad, Ed so much. We met at St. Elizabeth and share many memories. I just saw her a few months ago and we laughed in the Publix parking lot. I'm glad she is with the Lord and Ed. Love you Marie.

We were so surprised to see your Mother's death notice in the Naples paper this morning. We were neighbors of your Mom's and Ed's for a couple of years in Berkshire Village. She was an absolutely beautiful person and loved the Lord deeply. We know she is in his loving arms now. Our words cannot express our sorrow to you, her children, but want you to know our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this difficult time.
