My Mom and Mabel became fast friends when they both moved into Sturgeon Creek retirement residence after its opening in 2007. My Mom's name was also Mabel and that was always joked about between them. They hadn't been friends for long when my Mom passed away in August of 2007 but Mabel was a guiding light for me and she attended her funeral. I am thankful that my Mom had such a good friend, even for such a short period of time. I am so sorry for your loss and know that the 2 Mabels are up in heaven having their tea and good conversation. - Posted by: Rose Crate (Daughter of a Friend) on: Jun 02, 2013

Grandma... I miss you already. As the family gathers today to lay you to rest I am at peace knowing that you and Grandpa are together again. Tonight, right now, in Thailand, I am looking up to the stars, the same stars we share around the world, and remembering the great times we shared together - I can hear your laughter in my heart. Rest peacefully Grandma. With all my love... - your girl, Lindsay - Posted by: Lindsay (Granddaughter) on: May 27, 2013
