Marylin;
I was so saddened to read about your Mother. As you may know, I lost my dear Mom back in November. We are bringing Mom's ashes back for burial on April 1st and I was so hoping to see your Mom then. I have such fond memories of growing up at the bowling alley with our parents. I can also remember all the card parties our folks would have and how, if we were lucky, we would be up late enough to watch the Friday Night Movie Date (scary movies). My favorite Halloween party was at your house! Your Mom was a great hostess not just for her adult friends but with us kids as well. I know your heart is broken. You were so close to your Mom as I was with mine. Know that my prayers are with you and your family.

Dick and Susie Lasher,
I send my deepest condolences to you both and the rest of your family. Your mother/ mother in law was such a beautiful person inside and out. Anytime that I saw her at the Swisher Family Fish Fry she always had a smile on her face and you knew that radiated from her heart. I know she meant the world to everyone in your family and will truly be missed.
My deepest prayers go out to you as well and may the Lord touch your heart during this time of sorrow.
Sincerely Yours,
Shannon (Swisher) McDonald and Family

What a great lady she was, always ready to have fun and just enjoy life to the fullest!!! I have some fond memories bowling with her and most specifically state tournament. She was always up and about getting us coffee before I was even able to rub the sleep from my eyes. She will be missed by many!!

Marilyn,
I remember such good times growing up at Grandma Ima's and Grandpa Jim's. Christmas memories I have of one particular year, (yes, I was only 3) but your mom wanted to just hold me all the time and laugh with me. Your mom was always so good to Grandma over the years and it was because of the part your mom played in that relationship will always be treasured.
God Bless,
Luann
