Angie and Family,
You were my neighbors for years and a classmate at St. Pat's. I have always remembered you and your Mom, and how sweet both of you always were to me and my family. I am still sad you moved because you were good neighbors. I'm the last one still here of the all old families who lived on Vine. I wanted to express my deepest condolences, and would have before now had I seen this sooner. I am truly sorry for your loss. She was a really lovely person.

Don and family,
Maggie and I are so sorry for your loss. Angie has been one of my best friends since high school, and I always remember being greeted with a smile on Neta's face on the few occasions I stopped in for a visit while Angie lived in NLR. I pray that over time your grief will be replaced by peace as you remember the wonderful times you shared together.

Don and Jeff,
We are all so sorry to hear about Neta’s passing. I don’t think you can ever prepare yourself for it no matter how long it has been that she had been sick. Just keep all those years of good memories in mind and hopefully those thoughts will help ease some of the pain. Prayerfully,
Dave Stalnaker
