Hello All. I was deeply saddened to hear Mom Schutte passed away. Although I had not seen her in many many years, just hearing her mentioned brings back happy memories of her making me feel welcomed in your home. She also made me feel like mom's are there to look after you whether we liked it or not, and I think made me appreciate my mom more also. I am sorry I will not be able to be there for the services. I hope it is a nice day for the service, and the day brings a day of celebratng her good deeds to all that knew her. Take care and best wishes to All, Bernie Denning & Family(Elesia, Kids: Molly and Madeline)

We were so sorry to learn of Marge's passing. We lived next door to her on Lant Lane for several years, and she was always an excellent neighbor. She was always out doing things in her yard, even though there were times when it was apparent she wasn't feeling well. Sorry we are unable to attend the services, but our thoughts and prayers are with her family. Joe and Cherie Baylor
