Mabel's family,
My sincere condolences on the passing of Mabel. She always loved to sing, and I remember her in the church choir, along with her sisters. Always a smile on her face, and eager to assist with dinners at the church or with anything that was taking place.
Sorry, I can't make the service today due to a medical appointment out of town.
Cherish the memories.
God Bless,
Margaret Stengel Saunders
