To Mary Kate’s Family; I am so sorry for your loss. I met Mary Kate the day she moved into Serra Manor and was able to spend a lot of time with her at the Center. She was a beautiful lady and will be missed by so many people. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
To Mary Kate’s family, Our friendship dates back to the years when your mother was treasurer of the Hancock Co.TB League (which became the American Lung Assn.) Mary Kate was an active member and a devoted officer. She had many interests and so many friends. I feel fortunate to have been one. Please accept our deepest sympathy.
Patty & Bill & Family I was so sorry to hear about Mrs. Whitaker. She was such a special lady and was always so nice to me. I am so glad I got to see and talk to her last fall and give her a hug. I know you will miss her and so will I.
Dear Friends, I can still hear the bell calling you home for supper. Your mom has answered God’s call as He prepares the supper when you will all be joyfully reunited. May His love comfort you in this time of loss. Jim Jennessee
