Shari,
I'm very sorry to hear of your loss. When Sue told me about your Mom I thought of her talking with my Mom with the lake in the background. I was too young to realize how perfect those times really were. Now, in my advancing years, I know how much the memories of the good parts of life, can carry you thru the hard times.
Sincerely,
Steve Rulli

Auntie Shari,
I am so sorry for your loss. I remember growing up in Colorado and not having my family with me. Louise was like my grandmother, she treated me and my sister as one of her own. She will truly be missed.

Jay,

My condolences to you and your family, especially for the boys as I know this will be extremely hard on them. You and your family have been in my prayers since I received your e-mail. I will continue to pray for your mother as I know she was suffering for sometime and I know she is in the arms of God and ”dancing” amongst beloved family. May God bless you and grace you with his presence during this trying time.

Shari, Jay and Tracie,
I knew your mom in the 70's and 80's. I first met her when you kids were very young and later helped her for a time typing and listening to her great plans for her book while she was a real estate broker. After I left there I lost contact with her. I always admired your mom for her goal setting, specific planning and her strong survival spirit. I am sorry she has passed away, but I will not forget her. Thinking of her and you all...who by the way, she loved unconditionally...always!

Dear Shari, Jay and Tracy,

They were wonderful times when you lived below us. Your Mother and I kept our friendship for all those years she lived in Colorado Springs. I pray she has found peace. We are in Tucson for the winter, and though I will not be there for the service, she'll be in my thoughts.

Mom,
Traci, Shari and I are all here together, and we wanted to tell you that we will miss you bunches, but we know you are much happier now. You are probably dancing with Jeffrey and wanting us to know that we should be happy because you know what we have to look forward to now.

Jay, Traci, and Shari
