Reemer and Charlie, I'm so sorry for the loss of your mom. I always enjoyed the Christmas Eve parties hosted by your family and all the wonderful cooking, especially the cookie dough balls. She always gave the most thoughtful gifts to Elizabeth and the kids. Little did she realize I used all the cooking accessories more than Elizabeth. Prayers for you and your family.

Ebb, Reemer, and Charlie, As you know, Claire was like a second Mom to Elizabeth and me. I loved her deeply and will always cherish the time I spent with her from the days we were little until now. I’ll never forget all the delicious recipes she shared with us or the way she always Made us laugh with her stories from the past. I’ll miss visiting with her, the sweet and thoughtful notes she’d send me, and her smile. I’ll keep her forever in my heart. All my love , Virginia
