4 Condolences
I just heard about your mom. I am so sorry, I loved your mom. She was so kind to me & I loved to visit her @ Tabor Manor when my mom was there.
Sad to hear this. She was a very special person. I always looked forward to Gust & Her visits when I was a youngster. They were always kind and listened to all my bablings with great interest. Our family loved the Carlson family as our own. She will be missed. Her & Gust are reunited at last. I would like to think they are visiting my Mom & Dad again.
Julie, my sincere condolences on your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.
We are sorry for your loss.
