Dear Berry and Bill;
It has been 47 years since I have seen your mother and even longer since I have seen either of you. I was deeply saddened by the news of your mother's passing. My mother has kept up with what is happening in Emporia via the Independent Messenge News Paper and that is where I learned the news of Margaret's passing. I have often thought of her and both of you. How many hours and days I enjoyed on Lee Street because of your mother and you two.
Please accept my condolences.

Judy and Bill, I tried entering the code to view the video and apparently have remembered it incorrectly. I would love to see this if you could send me the code again. Thanks and it was great seeing you, even under these circumstances. Sincerely, Floy

Dear Berry and Bill
I remember your Mom as a loving, warm and energetic person, whom I din't get to know as well as I would have liked. But, whenever I did see her - she was as gracious and welcoming, as if we were next door neighbors. I remember her mostly from a few "get togethers" at Christine's,- with Hugh Ben playing piano - or at your house. However, I know that some of my memories come from the wonderful way my Dad spoke of her and of Christine whenever we discussed family news. I remember her pride in you both and the smile she had whenever she talked about what you were doing in your lives.
Please know that my heart is sad for your loss - and that I rejoice with you too - as I celebrate her life, well lived! Though miles and time separate us - Melanie and I hold you and your Mom's spirit in our thoughts and prayers!

Mrs. Margaret Thompson was a close friend of my parents, Harry and Estelle Evans, and a frequent visitor at our home.

I remember her well.

It is with great sadness I today learned of her loss.

Dear Berry and Bill, We were so sorry to learn of your great loss. Your Mother was one of the nicest ladies that I have ever known. I,m sorry that I won,t be abel to attend the funeral. I had surgery two week ago and the doctor still has me on home rest. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.......all our love, Bari and Joan Novey

Berry and Bill

Sue called me today with the news. You have my despest condolences. Some of my fondest childhood memories include a starring role by your mom. She was always there with kind words and high expectations. I am sure you will both miss her terribly, but you should be comforted that she lived a long and important life.

I wish I could be there Sunday, but I will be flying out to Los Angeles the next day for the NEA Convention. Please give my condolences to the rest of your families.

With deep sympathy,

Harry
