I just learned of Joyce's passing, and just wanted to say that I have such nice memories of her as we were growing up. I'm glad you all had many years with her, and all the good memories are what will stay with you.

Dear Cousins, So very sorry to hear of your mother's passing. It's always hard to say good-bye. My apologies for not making it to her viewing or funeral. I've been ill for several days. I also had an obligation in WVU hospital today that I could not miss. I hate not being able to see all of you and catch up. Love and prayers. Charlene

I'm so very sorry for your loss. I grew up in Arden and I will never forget the bus would either break down in the winter and your parents took us all in the house and gave us hot choclate until or parents could come and get us. They were both very sweet people. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.
