Gaile and Dana and Family,
We want to express our sincere sympathy on the loss of your dear Mother. We have many fond memories of their life with us here in Culpeper. They both sang in the choir with Walt and we were honored to attend their 50th anniversary with all of you at Dana's home. We also enjoyed visits to their home here and also with Daisy in Stephens City. May you find comfort in knowing others share your sorrow.
Much love,
Walt & Hermine Thomas

A Daisy is a little flower that gives off a very sweet aroma no matter where it is. Even when it fades away, you still know where it has been. Just remember her for all she gave off and that earth has no sorrows that heaven cannot heal. God bless you all. Shirley Jackson
