Dear Jackie,  We are so sorry to read of your loss in the paper today.  When we saw your Mother at the concert at Mill Hollow this Summer, she just caught our eye as such a cute, little, elderly lady.  Please accept our sympathy and prayers.

Dear Jackie and Halle Dee,

     I want to express my sympathy to both of you in the recent death of your mother.  As you know I knew your mother since I lived down the street from your family for several years.  Your Mom helped out with my Girl Scout Troop and she was always very gracious to me when I visited Jackie or baby sat Halle Dee.  Yes, Halle Dee, I baby sat you several times, and I still remember you as a very intelligent little girl.  And Jackie, I just saw you at our 50th Class Reunion in August of 06, and I was surprised to learn that your mother was still living.   Actually I remember both of your parents quite well, and I always liked them.  They were good people.  May God comfort both of you and your friends and family as you grieve her loss.  I hope you will also celebrate her life and share your good memories of her.

Sincerely,

Donna (Apolzon) Glazier
