Dear Sandy and Debbie,
I am so sorry to hear about your mother. I haven't talked to you in a really long time but always know that I think of you often.
Let me know if there is anything that I can do to help. I will not be able to attend the services in Denver because of previous plans but know that my thoughts are with you!! Love, Debi Hall

Dear Sandy and Debby,

I was saddened to read of your precious mother's death. I remember her and your dad so well from Garfield School when you girls were in my 2nd grad class. You were always special to me. Everytime I pass the house on E. Cache La Poudre, I think of all of you and wondered what had happened to you. I knew Debby married Chris Wilson and for a long time I heard from his mother. I have lost contact with her, too. I hope when things have settled a bit, you will feel like contacting me and we can renew a friendship begun long ago. May Jesus' gentle love comfort you, may God's faithfulness give you hope and may His Holy Spirit fill you with hope, peace and strength. With Heartfelt Sympathy, Marjorie Swearingen
