To the Rasset Family,
My sympathy to you all. I will always have fond memories of your mother. They go back to when I was just a teenager working as a waitress at Twister. Serving coffee to all the regulars for a nickle a cup. Your mother could do it all and she was quite the lady! May she rest in peace.
Sincerly, Chris (Day) Schaffer
Love to the family out in MN, keep shining brightly. I’m grateful that my satellite family all the way out in PA was allowed the opportunity to congregrate and celebrate Great Grandma’s life in 2012. Unfortunately, we’re celebrating her life again not even a year after. Keep your heads up, miss ya. Hope to see you all again soon!
Cheri, Tiny and family,

Cheri, as you know that my mom just passed away also I know how you feel. The loss hurts but it will get better like they say. Time heals a broken heart. We will miss both of our mothers, especially all of the firsts. May your mom rest in peace and always shine bright on all of you.
Florence for me for many years at Wal-Mart. She will be missed. God bless. The family has my condolences. She is resting in peace now.
I am so sorry for the loss of your Mother. No matter how old we are, losing our Mother is one of the hardest things to accept. May you always remember she lives on in all of you. She was a very special lady. May God hold her in his arms as her departed family members welcome her home. God Bless you all and give you needed peace during this time.
Love,
Rita Quigley (Galvin)
