Georgette, Sharonn, Georgia and Families: I can’t express how sad I am that you have lost your mother and grandmother….who I know that you all loved so much. Please accept my deepest sympathy. Be proud that she did a wonderful job in raising you…well done Mary.
Dear Grammy, I will always treasure the memories of you babysitting Amanda and I after school for years when we went to St. Joes and everything else that fell in between. We had the best of fun and you were the best grandma anyone could ask for. I love you with all my heart and I know you are watching over us all. Thank you for everything you have done for our family… Sharonn
Patti, george and rest of the family, losing a mom is the hardest thing in this world. Now you have all the precious memories of your mom,dad and brother, I am sure they will remain in your hearts forever. They are all at peace now, God Bless all of you. Mike, Dee (olenick) Sabol
Patti, we are so sorry to hear of your mother’s passing. Be assured of our prayers for your mother and your family.
Knowing your daughter, Patti, you would have surely been proud of the woman she has become. The two of them, growing as Christians, have become dear friends to our family. God Bless Miracle Mary.
Patti and Dale, I am very sorry about the loss of your mom, but remember God is our support in all we do. He is your rock and without Him you can do nothing, your life has showed how you lean on Him for all things. The blessing in all of this is your mom is in His presence and is feeling the joy of being with Him. I also pray for the rest of your family and for their strength as well. You guys are very dear to me and know even though I cannot be there for every moment I am praying for you, but I am here if you need anything else. Love and prayers,
Patti & Dale, Our prayers and thoughts are with you and yours on such a heart breaking occasion. Having lost both parents, I know how much grief you are feeling and I send our sympathy. Remember, she is in God’s care and all pain and sadness is gone. She’ll be waiting for you when God calls you home. Love and Blessings, Carol Campinelli
Oh, Grandma! What memories! You taught me what ornery really meant. I see a Kmart and still think of you. I treasure all those Tuesdays we spent at your house for piano lessons, the many nights I stayed over in Weirton with you, and all the times you came to our school events. Yummy fried chicken, your drawer filled with cookies, and our trips to Eat n’ Park in Robinson are some of my best memories. I inherited your love affair with shoes and magazines, and my hands are small just like yours. Most of all, I will remember what a funny, unique, giving, and pleasant woman you were to me! Ask Pap-pap who pulled his chain and give Uncle Andy a hug for me. Love Always, your Lindsay
Patti,Dale & family, My thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad time. I am sure your mother is looking down with a peaceful smile on her face. May God embrace you and your family and keep you in his care. God Bless all of you.
Jackie, Please accept my deepest sympathies. I can see your Mom sitting in her kitchen and hear her wonderful laugh!
Dear Stevie and Family, We were saddened by the loss of you mother, Mary. It is our prayer that the Lord will give you strength, peace and comfort that ony He can provide at this time and in the days ahead. Lean not on your own understanding but talk to the Lord and gain His wisdom and understanding. May he supply you with an abundance of good memories of your MOM and of your family. A contribution will be made to the Brooke Hills Free Methodist Church in Wellsburg in memory of your MOM. It will go to the Christian Life Club that is an outreach to children ages 4 to 13. It helps to develope responsible young adults who have as their foundation the attributes and character of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. God Bless you all. Love and prayers , Rich and Denise

Dear Teddi Bill & families, It takes a long time to get used to the loss of someone we love. But it’s important to remember that when people die, they leave something very special behind — They leave us memories of many things they said and did. And as long as we have those memories, the people we love will live on in our hearts and minds. Our Sincere Condolences, Nancy & Gary Bill & Teddi’s Ohio Neighbors
Chun and myself were so sad to hear this news. We offer our sincere condolences to all of the family.
Patti & Dale, We are very sorry for your loss. I know that it is very hard to let go of someone you love. Even when we know they are going to Heaven. I look forward to the day that we all meet at the great banquet feast of the Lamb. Please know that we love you and are praying the peace of the Lord upon you. God bless you both.

I miss all the memories with you especially our ceramic classes with mom and playing cards or Pokeno and hiding under your dining room table from you (even though you always knew where we were). Just know I pretended to be sick so many times just to stay home and play with you or write my name in between the dining room and kitchen door frame ;).I miss the holidays in your home I long for those days of you in the kitchen cooking and all the cousins playing on the hill always being careful no to go to the third hill I know, I know! I miss you so much; its been so long since we have talked to where you understood who we were that I am so sad your gone and never got to really say our goodbyes and I hope you are up there happy your finally home with grandpap (tell him when I come up we will go to see world (and he wont be holding a globe this time :)!!!

Patti and Dale, We are so sorry for your loss. It is always hard to lose a parent, we are so used to them taking care of us. Just know she is happy and healthy now and you will see her again one day in the presence of our Lord. What a day that will be!! Love to you all at this difficult time. Bill and Pam Northcraft.
Grandma, I think all of your grandchildren will agree that our memories of you are warm and fun-filled. For having so many grandchildren, you really knew how to spread your love and make each and every one of us feel special! I’m so happy to have all of those memories, from everything Lindsay, Georgia, and Sharonn said, to Starvaggi’s pool with rice cakes and peanut butter, checkers and cards, our daily walks, and yes sneaking to write on your walls. I too faked alot of ear aches so that I could come home with Shar and Georgia to play at your house instead of stay at school. You were a wonderful role model, and an amazing lady. I am so lucky to have all of the memories of being at your house. Thank you for teaching me, and loving me, and having so much fun with your grandchildren. Also thank you for not killing me when I threw your chicken pot pie at the TV, I really thought you were going to. Thank god for timeout in the pink chair instead! Also thank you for putting the Christmas presents out early so Sharonn and I could snoop 🙂 I love you, and I know you are in a better place with Grandpa and Uncle Andy. I know you will continue to watch over our family with love from heaven! You will be greatly missed and always remembered as a classy, sassy, beautiful lady! Love you G-ma! Amanda
I’m so sorry to hear of your loss. If you need anything let me know. Love you bunches
