We are so sorry to hear about your mother's battle with cancer and her recent passing. She was such a cherished friend to Ardeth since grade school. Everyone that knew them heard about their famous Saturday night marathon phone calls. It is just unbelievable that they both had
the same form of cancer and that they both passed away in their 80th year. Ardeth was looking forward to celebrating their birthdays together in Des Moines this past summer, but now they have an eternity to share together. Our thoughts and prayers to your family. God Bless!

I was very sorry to hear of the passing of Aunt Dee, she was always a bright light in the room with her cheerful disposition and caring personality-I have such fond memories of Christmas time at the Dudley's gathering for Christmas Eve dinner. We will all miss her.

To the Dudley children, so sorry for the loss of your mother. Corliss was my boss at the Air Guard and he was who hired me. I watched you kids grow up and your mother was always special to me. My prayers go out to you.
