Ted, Debbie and family, Our deepest sympathy at the news of your loss! We loved Mardell very much! Such a sweet lady!! She is so happy now in the arms of our Savior! Mother (Elsie...this is Angela writing) wants you to know you are in our thoughts and prayers. She is 93 now and if I were closer, I would be sure she/we could say goodbye in person.
God bless your whole family at this time!
