"To Marge's family, I am so sorry to hear of your mother's passing. I always loved your Mom's smile. The last time I saw Marge was at Cedar Manor shortly after my Dad passed away, and we had the nicest chat. Your mother was such a hard worker. Church and the Catholic faith seemed very important to Marge, and I am sure she is now shining in the glory of heaven. We never forget our loved ones, and they remain with us always. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. "

My wife, Shelba, and I send our deepest condolences to the family of Margery. Richard and Shelba Arnold of Waterford, Ohio."

"Melanie, I hope all of your family are well. I was sorry to read about your Mother. I lost my Mother when I was 30 years old and there is not a day that goes by that I don't miss her. It is regretful that your children will not have the benefit and guidance of their Grandmother while growing up, but she will be watching then growing to adulthood from Heaven. God Bless all of your family and help you through the rough times as well as the good times. "
