Katherine and family, I was so sorry to see that your Mom had passed. I didn't know her very well but she was always so sweet and kind. I know you will miss her very much. My prayers are with you. Janet Penley.

The last time I saw your Mother it had been over 2o years, I came to the house unannounced, knocked, she saw me, I said do you remember me, She said Bobby, you come here and give me a hug. 

All of us that have ever met the Swain family have nothing but great memories. We in the NW are sorry for your loss, great lady.

Kathryn, Anita and Woody - You're in my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time. Through memories, you'll always have her with you.

Anita and all:  I am sorry to hear of your mother's passing.  It is hard to lose a parent no matter how old we are. She had a good life and I know how much she appreciated your company attending many events, concerts and all.   My sympathy to all of you.          Susan McConnell

Woody, Anita, & Katherine, I'm so sorry for the loss of your mother. She must have been a wonderful person because all of you turned out to be outstanding people.May the memories help you to heal and sustain you in the days to come. Nancy Garvey

Anita,  I am so sorry for your family's loss. I know the past few weeks have been very difficult for you since your mom's fall. Even though this isn't quite the healing you wanted, I pray that you find comfort in knowing that in heaven there is no more pain.  I don't remember meeting her directly, but I do know this: she raised a wonderful daughter!  I am at work today but am thinking of you and keeping you in my prayers.

Alice was my beloved neighbor and friend.  She and Ercell were a blessing in my life and I will always be grateful for the conversations and smiles we shared. My thoughts and prayers are with you in this time of loss.  I know the treasured memories you all share will always be with you.

Woody, Anita, and Kathryn - we are keeping you in our prayers.  We understand the loss you feel and pray that special memories will help you through the days ahead.  Your mom was a great lady.  I remember coming to your house for Bluebirds.  She taught me how to clean strings off celery!!  Oh the small things we remember.  Yet, because of all the times our families spent together, I had the privilege of seeing another example of how a great mom cares for her family and for others.  These are unspoken lessons you recall and want to apply to your own life.  I am glad I had the opportunity to know such a lady.

Woody, Anita, and Kathryn - we are keeping you and your families in our prayers.  We understand your loss and hope that special memories will help you throughout the days ahead.  Your mom was a great lady.  I remember coming to your house for Bluebirds.  She taught me how to clean the strings off of celery!! Oh, the small things that stay with us.  Yet, because of the time spent with your family, I had the privilege of experiencing another fine example of how to be a great mom who loved and cared for her family and others.  Because He lives, Jesus will see all of you through this chapter of your life.

Kathryn, Anita and Woody I'm sorry for you loss and my thoughts and prayers are with you.  It's been a lot of years since I have seen your Mom but whe was a very sweet person.
