I so enjoyed Miss Frisby remembering when she moved in at Parkway Village , when I supervised the Housekeeping Department and then later doing private duty cleaning when I was no longer in their employ. We had a lot of laughs and she made the short hour and a half go fast even though at times I'd stay longer just to chat. She was alwasys smiling and had some nick -nack to give to me before I left, some of which I still have in my home. My deepest sympathy to Pat and the family of whom she bragged about all them time!

My condolences to Virginia's family. She knew my mother and my uncle, so we go back a long way. I also enjoyed having her as a customer when I worked at Talbots. She was always fun to talk with and always full of life. I know she will be greatly missed.

Pat - My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time of the loss of your Mother. I
always enjoyed visiting with her in the "Wash Room" in our building while taking care of our
clothes!She was such a sweet person.. "Just Think...Of stepping on shore and finding it Heaven, Of touching a hand and finding it God's, Of breathing new air and finding it celestial, Of
waking up in glory and finding it home".

Love and Deepest Sympathy - Gertrude

Pat and family,
We enjoyed Virginia so much when she would
come and sit around in the afternoons in our "Chat Room" and visit and missed her when she
moved to our other facility.
At a time like this..friends want to share the sorrow that you feel and let you know their
caring is so very warm and loving.
Our Love and Deepest Sympathy,
Friends in Redwood Apartments
