From her online Guestbook . . .
Dear Kathy & Family -- It was so nice to see you all yesterday at your Mom's service. As we rode together quietly to the church, Stan recalledso many wonderful things about your Mom. She was such a good Secretaryto him. He told how particular shewas with every budget he prepared and never once complained about sometimes typing pages over and over! Sheknew it's importance and just did it. She was that way with everythingshe did. She took pride in her work. She kept a tidy and professionaloffice and was kind and caring towards the staff. Of course, she and I used to joke that Stan was a lucky man to have two Capricorn women behind him. Jackie & I shared birthdays, 1 day apart. And Capricorn being the work horse of the universe, hehad itmade: one at home, and another in the office. She was a great gal -- To her family, we extend our sympathy and ask God to surround you with his warm embrace and mend your broken hearts. With Much Love, Stan & Lorraine Sumner
