    To Jim and family, My heart is aching for all of you. Mid was such a special lady and I know she will be missed terribly. I know dad thought so much of her and Jim. They were coffee buddies. If you ever need someone to talk to or a shoulder to cry on I am here for you. Mid has a special place in my heart. I will be thinking of you in the days to come. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

    The Hardy Family, I was just informed today of the passing of your Mom. Mid was one of most kind and sweet woman that ever walked this earth. When you are growing up , you always remember who went out of their way to be kind to you and those who genuinely cared and loved you. Even though I have been gone from Bloomington for 30 years I often thought of her and looked forward to seeing her when I came home for the Holiday's and would attend Arlington United Methodist Church with my parents. I only wish I had known she had passed as I certainly would have been there. May God Bless all of you and be comforted in knowing that you will see her again where sorry and suffering do not exist.
