Mary Beth, Joe/Charlotte,, and Gina. Prayers for your loss, healing, and faith. Your parents were such excellent examples to all of you on living a Christian life. Especially your mother. She was such a strong woman and was there to help all of you grow to be successful. I loved when she visited our church and all the girls plus Joe would be together.

I am feeling your loss and my thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Mrs. Vallot, as I called her, took me under her wings at Beaumont Medical Surgical Hospital, MASH as it was fondly known to us, and helped me in my beginning days and months as an OR nurse. She was a bold, kind, and generous woman. She was fun as well. She had a great sense of humor and a great laugh. I am so grateful that I got to visit with her at my mom's house on a visit home not so long ago. The miles had separated us but when we visited it was just like the old days. Mostly, she had a joyful heart in the Lord and she spread His love to everyone she met. My life was blessed by her. I will miss her. She will always be a fond memory of mine. May the peace of Christ be with you as you grieve. Kathy Gibbens

I am so sorry to learn that your mother has passed. I have fond memories of her in surgery at Hotel Dieu when I was a student nurse from 1953 until 1956. She was an excellent teacher and mentor. I pray your faith will see you through this trying time. I know this is late,but I just learned of it.. I know prayers can see you through this after you have said your last "Goodbye" , there will be more trying times...

Miss her and had tears watching the Vedio. Especially loved the picture of Mimmer, Gene, Don and your mom.
