I am so sorry to hear about Mrs Petit. I was her next door neighbor for years. Anne and I hung out at her house and mine. Many many great memories. She was like another mom to me. When I had children we always went to her house for Halloween. What a wonderful and loving lady.
Aunt Mary was a wonderful lady. I loved her and knew she loved me. My sincerest sympathy to my cousins Mark, Meride, Loretta and Anne. May God bless you and all your family members at this sad time. I am unable to attend the funeral, but will be with all of you in thought and prayer. May Aunt Mary rest in peace.
Sending love and hugs to you all in your time of sadness.
Sending condolences and love to Jason and his family at this time. May her memory be for a blessing always.
To my other mother of 56 years. You brightened my life since I was 6 years old. Always a place at the table. Always a smile and understanding ear. Always the laughter. Rest well dear lady. You will always live in my heart. You are the newest star in the night sky. I will look for you. Shine on! Love you to pieces! Daughter #4
