Grandma,
Thank you for accepting me into your family when I married your grandson Adam. You welcomed me with open arms and I will always love you for that. We will make sure that your great granddaughter, Treva, will know what an amazing woman you were. We miss you greatly.

Dear Marnie and family:
So many thoughts and prayers are with all of you for the peace that only God can provide during these difficult times. Your mom was such a special lady, and it was an honor to have known her throughout these many years. As I told Marnie the other day, my first job was with your mom and Mar-Lyn Gift Shops back in the 70's. The year Ray was born, she gave us a cute Baby's First Christmas ornament and it still hangs on our tree each year. May the memories you all share give you strength.
Much love,
Deb, Dare and Ray Doyle
