To the family of Donna Reardon:
I’m truly sorry to hear about the loss of your wife/mother. I’ll never forget her warm smile and gracious welcome when your families got together. She was the best cook I have ever known, everything she made from scratch and with lots of love. I always enjoyed her talking about the birds and showing me the birds that were coming to visit the many birdfeeders around the house. Like the many lighthouses she collected, her light will always shine in my heart. I know that nothing anyone can say will take away the pain of your loss, but I want you to know that your family is in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult times.
With my deepest sympathy,
Charlotte

Sorry to hear about your mom. I remember all of the shenanigans Ruthie and I used to pull. Your mom’s laugh and her warnings when we were getting into things we knew we shouldn’t. Sad to see the old neighborhood going away. Prayers for all of you and your dad.

Sorry sorry to hear about Donna (Mrs. Reardon as I knew her since I grew up next door to her) and sorry I couldn’t make it to the visitation or funeral service. My heart and prayers go out to each and everyone of you as I fondly remember the good times we all had together as next door neighbors for so many years on Tiffin Road. I remember so well the huge garden you had, and I loved sitting outside helping Donna with podding all those peas or breaking all those green beans in half . She made it so much fun! You were the best neighbors anyone could ever have, and I remember so well Donna helping my mom out through her most difficult times. I will always remember her big smile and all of you. My deepest sympathy and heartfelt love…….Diana (Durdel) Spoerr
