Dear Suzanne, Jeanette, Patrice and Mark,
I have always loved and respected your Mom! She always cooked wonderful desserts, and drove us to the beach in the summertime! I loved spending the night at your Crystal avenue stone house and have very happy memories of those days. I will always remember the Beautiful clothing she made for the girls! I loved going to the fabric store and Ivelese's yarn shop with her and Patrice. She made me want to sew!! I will always remember her love of growing beautiful flowers! And when I called on the phone, I never knew if I would hear her voice saying "Aloo?", or Ralph's voice saying "Yellow"!
I am making a donation to the ALS foundation in memory of dear Denise and Marie.
God Bless,
Pam Pelkey Schueneman

Dear Suzanne, Jeanette, Patrice and Mark ~ ~ ~ I am so sorry to learn of your mom's passing. She was the best! I remember her playing games with all us kids upstairs when I'd spend the night. And I remember those bushels of peaches and apples in your basement, which she would turn into delicious pies.
I have made a small donation to ALS, in memory of Denise and Marie.
All my love,
Patrice

Marie....one of the most gracious, loving, kindest people I have ever known. I am honored to have been her friend and neighbor. I remember afternoons of sitting on our patio and talking about her childhood. I will forever cherish the fact that I got to know her ever better by compiling a book of her and Ralph’s life and her childhood for her kids. It was fun, and interesting all in one. Dennis and I send our heartfelt condolences to the whole family. Marie left a mark on my heart and I will forever cherish our friendship. Love to you all.

Words are never sufficient at a time like this. Know that I feel your loss and share your sorrow at your mom's passing. Mrs. Dahn (never was first name used for adults when we were kids) has always had a special place in my heart, since the Dahn family and ours was kind of intertwined by virtue of having children of similar ages. What fun it was to come to your beautiful home by Crystal Springs, spend nights, visit, laugh, have adventures. Your mom was the best. Then as "adults," Trice and I actually got to work with her at Schuler's. That was a kick! So she's been in my life throughout my life, and even when I moved out here to CA, I never forgot her and kept her memory close. You're so lucky to have had your mom for so long. I'm sure she was happy to be able to be joined once again with your dad, and she probably couldn't wait to see Denise. May God's arms enfold you all during this difficult time. I know that you will have MANY wonderful memories of your mom to comfort you and to keep her alive.
Love, Chris (Gaunder)
