David,My mother only knew your mother for one and a half years, but they became the dearest and closest of friends. They shared many sweet times together and your mom will be deeply missed by Ruth and by me. I will never forget the first day my mom arrived at Sunrise and was invited by your mother to sit at her table. It made all the difference in the world and was the beginning of a beautiful friendship. My mother adored her, as did I.May the lord give you comfort and peace in this difficult time, and may you take comfort in the assurance that you honored your mother in so many ways.Our love,Ruth Arnold and her daughter, Louanne

Hello Dave, Sorry for your loss. I often think about my Holy Rosary class mates. I remember the white house you grew up in close to the church, about 23rd or 24th ave. My wife Kristine (Petersen) remembers you from St. Joe's. She graduated from there in 1970. I've always considered you an old friend, and now I know you live south of the border !!! I just hope you are not a Cub fan !!!! ....... anyhow, we extend our sympathies, and I hope we cross paths again someday. Best regards, Larry Fonk

David:I have so many great memories of your mother with her gentle smile along with her beautiful and caring way. She always made me feel so special, always calling me 'her little Jeanie'. We had a great family growing up, giving us cousins so many wonderful memories. Time will heal your heart, losing someone so close is so hard. She was a very special person!!!Thinking of youJean
