I was sorry to hear of Alice's passing. I worked with her at Shippingport Atomic Power Station in the early 1980s. My girlfriend Lynn & I carpooled with her for a while.
She was a sharp little lady back then. I'm sure she will be missed. And though I am sad to her she is no longer with us, I am so glad she had many years of retirement.
Sincerely,

Sheyrl and Danna,
I don't know if you'll remember me. I worked with your Mom several years ago at the Shippingport Atomic Power Station. Her and I had many laughs together and also much aggravation with our timekeeping jobs. She was a wonderful person and it was a real pleasure for me to have known her. I extend my deepest sympathy to you.

Sheryl and Danna,
I am so sorry to hear of your mother's passing. I remember her fondly from the times we spent at your house, where she always made everyone feel welcome. I talked with her again when she was at Beaver Meadows. She was truly a special lady.
May all the beautiful memories of your mom help ease your sorrow. God bless you both.
