Our condolences
I remember the times spent in your family home in Gum Tree. Your mom served tomato gravy one night for supper, something I had never eaten before, but found quite tasty. She always greeted me with a smile and kindness. I know she will be missed greatly. I am sorry for your loss. Love to all. Kathy

To Paul, Doris and all.. I remember your Mom fondly in the wonderful years we spent in Highland Township.. Everytime I pass the old farm I see your Dad and Mom in my mind. My Dad and your parents were good friends. Fond memories.
Memories of Mary Mann...
Dear Paul, Doris, Mary Lou, Louise, and Kenny,
I can clearly remember riding my favorite blue bicycle down the road to your house to play with Louise. We spied on everybody, crawled on the barnyard wall, played games in the house, and boy do I remember the scrummy scalloped potatoes your Mom made!!! It seemed like she was always cooking. I also remember riding in the truck when your Dad(or Uncle) took milk up to the place on route 896 to make cheese. Both she and your Dad were very nice folks. I'm sorry for your loss. Our parents died in '93 for Dad, and '03 for Mom. Wonder why the women usually last longer...
Hope you all are well and happy; Hi Louise! Hugs, Becky
