Sandra,

You and your family have my sympathy in the loss of your Mother.

Working with you at Barnes & Noble has always been a joy. I know you and your Mother shared an extreme closeness as I did with mine. You were very good to her. She was very blessed to have a daughter like you. I will pray that God grants you strength to bear her loss. I know he will give you peace Sandra. Sincerely, Linda

Dear Sandra, Chris, Walter, and your spouses and Mary's grandchildren,



We were so saddened to hear that your Mom lost the battle she so bravely fought. We know how much you will miss her. Mary was such an unselfish and giving person and showed it in the caring way she was with her children and grandchildren -- she loved all of you so much. She was very friendly, interesting, intelligent and really nice to talk with.



With our sincere sympathy,

The Shober Family
