Raymond, Marsha, Carolyn and Janice. My deepest sympathy. I have many fond memories of your mom and dad. I especially remember helping pick raspberries with your mom and seeing her beautiful flowers. I am sorry I was not able to be there to help celebrate her life with you on Wednesday
Aunt Martha was always a kind soul as was Carl. There are many fond memories from years ago visiting at the farm, seeing the Philco shop, and the extraordinary gardens. Both Martha and Carl leave memories of their hard work and gentle kindness.
