Dear Kathy and Bernard Wayne, I am so sorry about Nita's passing, and I am sorry that I cannot come to the funeral. Nita was very special, and we so enjoyed sitting in the same pew with her at St. Paul's. We really missed her after she moved away. I will miss exchanging Christmas cards with her. You were wonderful children to her, and she was so proud of you both. My thoughts and prayers are with you and will continue to be. Love you, Susan

Bernard and Kathy, so sorry to learn of your Mom's passing. She was a special lady. I always enjoyed getting to see her and visit, and one of her cards or notes always gave me a special perk for the day. I even kept a few of them. I have lost any kind of address contact with you both, but just know you are in my thoughts and prayers. I guess you will have my email with this, so maybe sometime you can get in touch that way. Take care, and may God comfort and bless you in His perfect way. Janice
