    Terry & I have been saddened to learn of your mom’s illness & death. One of my earliest memories as a child is of her & that always-fun, upbeat, impish personality. She & sister Marge (along with their crazy husbands!) experienced some great times together. As a nurse, she touched, literally & figuratively, many people over the years, offering much comfort with her caring, loving ways. Cherish your memories…she fully & completely loved you boys. May your family find strength throughout this time. Thinking of you, Kenny Kern, & the entire extended family circle.

    Mike, Bear and Jim – So sorry to hear of your mom’s passing. Still remember all the times we got into trouble because we were supposed to be quiet when we played as kids so that we wouldn’t wake up your mom. Those were the days. Wish I could be there for her funeral. Hugs to all of you. Kathy

    To the Goldsberry Family:
    I was saddened to hear about Joan. We have always been best friends and I will certainly miss her. I just received the news and wanted to let you all know how special she has been in my life and how much I will miss her. I am in Texas visiting my grandchildren and am very sad that I could not be there to pay my condolences. I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers. I think back to all the great times that we had growing up and in school and I know how special she was to me and all of you. I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers.
