Mabel was a wonderful, sweet lady who welcomed my sister, Kay, into their family. Whenever any of our family would visit she treated us like family too. Our condolences to Bruce and all of her family. I know you will all miss her so much.

Aunt Mabel was always happy to see me when I was visiting. She made me feel like I was home.
I have many memories visiting with my Grandparents. They both loved her so much. As do I.
