Mother and I were so sad to hear about your sweet mother.

She enjoyed a full, active life and we know she will be missed by so many people. Mother always said she made a mean hamburger when she worked at the bowling center and I agree.

Know we love you all and are thinking of you.

Love,
Elaine and Patsy

To: Laura and Larry,

I am very sorry to hear of your Mother’s passing. I never had the honor of meeting her. But, because of the hope of the resurrection, I look forward to meeting both of your parents some day. Friends can sympathize, but only God can truly comfort the soul in times like these. I have found that to be so true. Just know that I will continue to lift you up in prayer. It doesn’t get any harder than this. I love you guys.

Sorry for your loss. I remember her and Mr Eddie from back in High School when they owned Midway Lanes. I went school with Larry and Laura. Spent many an hour an hour at that bowling alley over the years and had lots of fun there. I remember eating there many times too. Prayers to the family for your loss. She will be missed by all who knew her.
