Words can't express our sorrow for your mother/wife. Your Mom always cheered Nick on at sports; like wrestling when no one else had much interest, cheered him on in cold weather at baseball, and encouraged him in the classroom. When Nick called me from Kentucky last Thursday, his heart in his throat, thinking of all of you (and Adam), I truly knew how much an impact a teacher could mean to a young man. We are all so lucky to have known your mom! Our prayers are with you always and you are so blessed for being a part of a wonderful family.
God will continue showing you your Mother's love!
Nick, Chris and Sue Barte

I'm so sorry for the death of your mother. I know she was blessed to have such a loving family with her through every step of her ordeal.
Now is the time to dwell on all of the wonderful memories she made for you. I'm sorry that I won't be able to attend her memorial Saturday, but I will be thinking of you.
fondly,

I wish I could be over there to give you condolence in person. I'm so sorry for your loss and always thought of your mom as a second mom to me. I'll be praying for you as you go through this. Times like these make me realize how much I cherish you Sarah, and how much I miss you and being near my friends in Columbus. Hopefully we can be in contact soon, maybe over the holidays. Please extend a hug to your sisters and your dad. You are in my thoughts, Sarah. Love, Emily
