I am so sorry to hear about your mom's passing. She was such a kind person. I remember her sharing many cups of coffee with mom over the years. She made me a beautiful paper tole picture for my wedding that I still continue to treasure. She was so talented! My condolences on your loss.

From: The Anstett's

We will be forever grateful to your mom and dad and the special place that they held in our lives - our families were brought together by chance and that created a life long bond that so blessed us - when we think of all the time we spent together it will definitely make our hearts smile. Although they are both gone they will not be forgotten.

From: Margie

Dear Atkinson Family, I am so sorry for your loss. Your mother/grandmother/great-grandmother was a one of a kind example of discernment, wit, kindness, and grace. I must apologize for my absence at all of the ceremonies. I just returned from out of country and was not able to make last minute arrangements. I have no doubt there will be an outpouring of condolence, fond memories, and respect. I share all of these. I wish you all the comfort you need right now. May your grief make way for grace and peace to share your journey forward. With sincere and heartfelt condolence, Margie & family

I am so sorry for the loss of your mother. Alien was one of the pillars of Chatsworth and was a dear friend to my parents, Jack and June Curtis. Alien was always the first one to offer help and was that quiet, wise presence wherever she went. She will be missed.

I am so sorry for your loss. Chatsworth had some incredible people, and your mom was one of them. Our mother's drank many a coffee together. Played cards together, and also fit in some shopping trips. All our parents are together now, and hopefully still watching over us. Thinking of you!

Sending Alein's family my sincere sympathy. Alein was a lovely lady for whom I gardened the properties she and Atch owned for a few years. Always up for a visit and spoiling me with lunches and refreshments. I truly enjoyed not only working for her but spending moments in conversation. She was amazing. Rest in Peace Alein.
