    Some people come into our lives and quietly go, others stay for awhile and leave footprints on our hearts and we are never the same. We are so blessed to have had such special parents. We have such wonderful memories. After I lost my mom I would call yours she made it all better by just talking. Thats a gift I'll miss her. They are all up there having a heck of a time. Take care, Gail Walker Gulino

    The Schipper Family, I am sorry for the loss of your mother. Although I didn't know her, I can safely assume that she was as wonderful a person as all of you. Although she is gone, her memory will always be alive and well in each of you.

    We have such wonderful memories of Auntie Ruth, from letting me play hairdresser when I was little, to her stories about their childhood, and her visits to Paris and DC -she found the joy and fun in everything every day. Our thoughts and prayers are will you all.

Watching you spend quality time with your grandchildren & great-grandchildren will forever hold a special place in my heart, as all who knew you, knew that you cherished being with them and watching them grow. I love you so much and I truly miss you. Love, Rosemary
