Bob – sorry to see your Mom has passed. She had a nice long life. Brings back great memories of summers at camp and visits with Mom and Dad at the Nailors.
Bobby – so very sorry to hear about your Mom’s passing. I absolutely loved your Mom and Dad! I always had so much fun visiting with them both up to camp and also at the house when they weren’t able to go up to Hadlock. I used to admire all the times your Mom was putting on nail polish or just seeing her collection of all the colors she had. It was such a joy just to go sit and talk to her as she was thrilled to have company! She has a special place in my heart and will be missed dearly! Paul and I sadly will be unable to pay our respect in person as we still live in Maryland. My sympathy goes out to you and the boys as she was a lovely lady! Much love to you all, Laurie and Paul
Sorry for your loss…please know you are in my thoughts and prayers….Peace and Love, Jon
Hi Bob, so sorry to hear of your Mom’s passing. Mike and I are in Florida, but wanted to let you know we are thinking of you and your family.
Hello Bob, I am so sorry for your loss. I remember well the days when your mom & dad used to babysit for Peter, Jon and I. We had a lot of fun with them. I also have fond memories of the times we spent at camp with them. Now, all of mom’s siblings and dad’s siblings have passed away. It doesn’t seem possible we’ve gotten so old. Unfortunately, Mark and I are living in Florida and will not be able to attend the services. But please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I remember that you were always there for us when our parents and relatives passed. May God bless and comfort you at this time. If you need a break, you’re welcome to come visit us in Florida. Please give me love to the family. peggy & Mark
Bob,
So sorry for your loss. I had great pleasure in seeing her everyday when I was at work. She was a lot of fun.. One of her things that made me laugh was when I was cooking something she didnt care for, She would come to the window & ask for peanut butter & jel… not jelly.. but jel.. She always made me laugh… Sure do miss her..
