Lewter Family,
Sorry to hear about the passing of Ms. Inez. We had some great and fun times at the skating rink with Mr. & Mrs. Lewter and you all. We will always have fond memories.

Family,
There are so many words that could describe Mrs. Lewter. Two that come to me are: loving and a very caring person.
I can remember being at the skating rink and some of us kids left to go to a “haunted” house. Later that night when mama and daddy came to get me at the rink, Daddy asked me how I like the “haunted” house. For a long time, I thought mama and daddy were sitting outside somewhere and was watching. But, NO, I found out later, Mrs. Lewter called my parents and reported to them I had left and where I went. Now, that’s a caring person.
You are in my thoughts and prayers.
DeLois

Judy, Nancy and Sherry and all the family –
I was so saddened to hear of Mrs. Lewter’s death. I remember when we were neighbors and played together and were in and out of our house and yours. Mr. and Mrs. Lewter were always so nice to me. I also remember going to the fair with the Lewter family and what a good time we always had.
You all are in my thoughts and prayers as you face life without your Mother.
May God bless you all.
