    Tom, David, Jim and family
    Please accept my deepest sympathy with the loss of your Mother. Joan was my dear friend for 54 years. She was a beautiful woman inside and outside. I will remember her quiet loving spirit.
    I am so sorry that I am unable to be present at her funeral to personally extend my respect. As I have been out of state since the 19th.
    Please know I will keep you and your families in my thoughts and prayers at this most difficult time. May the love of Our Father be with you.
    Blessings and love, Cheryl Reser

    Tom, Dave and Jim,
    Words can not express the love I have for your mother. She has always been a sister to me since I met her in kindergarten. We truly grew up together. When I moved away from Fremont, I returned almost every year to see her and spend time with her. I am so grateful for this past summer visit, and how we both thought it may be our last, as we hugged and cried together. What comforts me now is knowing,without any doubt, that she has now seen the Savior, and is in the arms of John, the son that she lost at birth and her parents.
    God be with us “sweet sister” until we meet again. I love you now and through out all eternity.
    Nancy
