Margie Finley wrote a sympathy message

“Tim, Ned, Nancy, and Mary Jo- I babysat for all 4 of you when you were very little! I always thought the world of your mom and dad. They were both wonderful people. Your mom always had a smile and a kind word. I know you will miss her deeply. Jerry - Karen was so very lucky to have found you later in her life. My thoughts are with you. Margie Finley”
