Dear Connie and family,
So sorry to hear about the loss of your mother. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family during this difficult time.
Sincerely,

Sorry to hear of your mom. Lots of good visits growing up. Always a lady anywhere she was.
I have many fine thoughts of Phyllis and Adam starting in my teens playing with the Rovers to being their neighbour in the Belgo for many years. They were both very generous and kind.
I just wanted to offer our sympathy on the passing of your Mom. I remember your Dad and Mom happily watching our ball games in days gone by. The CWL will miss her hard work and her dedication. Don and Ina Kroschinsky
