Beth & Jill,
I am sorry to hear of your Mother's passing. Over the last 10 years I ran into Marty from time to time and she always took the time to ask me how things were going which I appreciated greatly. May God Bless your family and may the wonderful memories last forever.

Jillsie and Babo - Our hearts are broken and there are no words to describe that emotion. We've had our many phone calls the past few days, but I cannot wait to hold you in my arms. Mary Ann Antrim - your other Mom.

Jill and Beth,
My heart goes out to you. Your mom was a great person. She was there when I needed her the year I started teaching. What a year! I ran into her so many times and we always laughed about that first year (especially about you Jill and about Shelton taking your lunch). I will miss seeing her at the bakery, store, etc. My prayers and thoughts are with you.

Dear Jill and Beth,
Your mother was one of the happiest (always smiling) most pleasant
persons in our friendly little circle, both at church and always at the
bakery coffee group. She will be truly missed as her smile was so
contagious. We have been blessed by her presence in our life.

I do not know either of you, but I am thinking of you at this difficult time. I met your Mom when I was invited...years back...to join the Wednesday morning coffee group. We encouraged her as best we could during these past months.....I am so sorry. She was a lovely lady. She will be missed.

My long time friend jillsy and beth,
I am so sad about "party" Marty's passing. We know you were both so dedicated to her for so many years and especially in the last months and days. I have such fond memories of your parents and the warm inviting home they shared. Both Jim and Marty were dear souls. We wish you strength during these difficult times but hope you cherish the memories!!
Love you guys!!!

Beth & Jill,
What a loss to our church community and neighborhood. Your mom always stopped to chat when she saw me out in the garden. I'll miss seeing her as I dig and plant this year.

Marty was the best. I loved her for being such a good friend and neighbor to my mom. I loved her wonderful sense of humor with her characteristic laugh. I loved her 'tell it like it is' personality. She is missed. My sincere sympathies to Jill, Beth, and her grandchildren..
