I loved your mom! I saw her through my mom’s eyes and the friendship they had. I remember every year they called each other on their birthdays. My mom so enjoyed that. Now they can chat in heaven together every day just like when they were kids! Prayers and love to you all!
Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. Please remember that Grandma Kendall was loved by many.
I met Georgia in 1991at the Shattuc Post Office and we have been friends ever since. She was like a mother to me and I know how important her family was to her. I will miss speaking with her and sharing grand children pictures. She was the kindest person and I will always treasure her friendship, and finally her and Lefty are together again. So sorry for your loss. Diane Buening
I was so sorry to hear of your mother’s passing. She was one of my good friends since grade school and through life. We talked on the telephone many a day. We raised our families together and our two boys were best of friends. She was always in a good mood, we had a lot of laughs together. She was the perfect postmaster because of her wonderful personality and good cheer. This also made her a very good friend to talk to. I know she loved her grandkids and great grandkids very much and they were a joy to her in her old age. So sorry for your loss.
