Hello Mel and Girls,

Seen in the paper about Mary's passing, feel so bad for you all. Seems

like just a short time ago we were all part of the Thomas and Betts "family"

The good old days, right. Time moves on, we are in Florida for the winter or

would sure liked to stop by and visited.

Take care, know it wont be easy but you will make it through this sad time.

Your friends,

Bill and Earldean

Mel,Lori, and Julie: Steve and I were very saddened to hear of Marylou ' s death. We will keep the family in our prayers. May GOD keep you in his care. She will be missed. Mel, take care and hold your loved ones close.

Our condolences to Mary's family and friends,

We are sorry to hear of Mary's passing. She was a fun lady. We haven't been in touch for many years, but have not forgotten the "good old days" at T & B. We have good memories of Mary and Mel and all the old gang. You have our deepest sympathy.

Michelle, I am sorry to hear about your aunt. I will keep my fingers crossed for you and wish you happy memories, safe miles and bright skies during your visit and Mary's services. Be well.

We were saddened to hear of Mary's passing.

she was a good friend, last time we saw her and Mel was at our 50th wedding anniversary party. We sure enjoyed partying with them over the years.

She will be missed by many

We are so sorry to hear about Mary's death. Mary and Mel were such nice neighbors on Caroline Ct. Mary was a wonderful babysitter for Nick. She got him off to such a good start. We're thinking of all you.

My deepest condolences over the passing of Mary. I'm Allen Rinner's daughter and remember her and Mel very well. Many blessings and prayers to the family. My thoughts are with you.
