Condolences to the family on the loss of your dear Mama and grandma.
Mrs Pregelj was a lovely woman. She always extended a cheerful, warm welcome. I am grateful for her smile, trust, and indulgence of our teenage shenanigans.
Her tremendous faith was inspiring; it had a gentle yet impactful and positive influence on the world and on me.

Judy so very sad to here about your mother. Her wedding picture is beautiful. No matter how old losing a mother is a sad experience. Take heart in how much love and help you gave her before she went into the home. I remember those conversations with you. Even after she went to the home your dedication to her did not waver. She was surely loved. We will keep her and you and your family in our prayers.

Dear Judy and Family, I was saddened to hear that your mom has passed away. I still remember from our conversation for the CSHS Archives what a strong and positive woman she was, and how proud she was of her family. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. In heartfelt sympathy, Anne.

Dear Margaret and Judy

"Live in the memories with all the precious times your shared with your mom." I will always remember your mother at caravan with her "kleklanje" (bobbin lace).
I treasure the motif of Madonna that she made for.
Sending my sympathies for the loss of your mother, Mrs. Pregelj. A mother is someone who never leaves us. All of the wonderful things she brought into this world now will live on.
