  1. Pauline was such a sweet lady. I enjoyed seeing and talking with her nearly everyday at the Villages of Marion. She will be missed. I’m so sorry for your loss.

  3. Dear Kathy,

    Both Diann and I have recently experienced the loss of our Mothers, and we can relate to all the emotions that grip us during times like these. In our cases there was both relief that the earthly struggle was finished and sadness for ourselves that we could no longer go to our Mothers when we needed advice or information. When we heard of your Mom’s passing, we talked for some time remembering. I of course told her of my illness and your new carpet, an incident to this day, haunts me. Your Mom was so gracious – a real sweetie. I remembered playing at your house, or you at mine with such fondness. The universe will be a much sadder place because she is no longer with us.

    Please know that we are thinking of you and our prayers go out to you and for your Mom. We regret that neither of us could arrange to make it to the calling hours or service but we were there in spirit. Consider yourself hugged. Let me know if I can help you in any way…….the guys at Stewart’s can give you my number. Be gentle with yourself in these days to come.

    Marietta Ard Morgan and Diann Laue Morse
