Dearest Cindy and family,
I am so sorry. I will say a prayer that God will give you the strength to endure this and his grace to lift your pain.
Cindy, your Mother must have been a very special lady to have raised such a wonderful daughter. There is nothing else I can say that will help you now. I know…

From: Jurlene and Family
Dear Jene and Cindy,
I never got to meet your Mother but I did get to speak to her and your Father before he passed away. I am so sorry to read of her passing.
My dad was Charles Clair Wirth and my mother was Pauline Evans. They divorced and Mother married again and we moved to Texas. I saw my dad again when I was 19 and my first daughter was 1 year old. I saw grandmother Wirth just before she passed away. My husband and I came thur Kansas a few years ago and found the cemetery where Dad and Grandmother and Grandfather Wirth were buried. I did not know where to find any of the rest of the family.
I would be so grateful if any of your family would get in touch with me. I have so wanted to know the rest of the family. Please wirte or call.
Again my heart felt sympathy to all.
