Dear Lorraine, Ted, and family,
I just wanted to express my deepest sympathies to all of you in the loss of your mother. Mrs. Funk was a remarkable woman, and I have so many wonderful memories of her love for life when she was at Presbyterian Village and afterwards. Though I didn't get by to see her near enough, whenever I would stop by to see her, her face would light up in smile. She was a true example of what a "true" Christian should be. She lived a long and happy life, and I will never forget her... my prayers are with and for you all.

Leave your Condolence
