We just learned that Ardis died and we are very saddened by the news. Ardis was the best -- a lovely, lively lady and a great neighbor at Med Manors. It was inspiring to see her rehabbing after her fall last winter and to be impressed by her indomitable spirit. She was generous and gracious to us and we will miss her. May she rest in peace.
Jim, we send our love and prayers to you and your family.

I will always remember our visit to the St. Louis Central Library. I had never gone behind the scenes but Ardis asked and was granted a tour. The 100 yr. old library still held the original stacks that had glass floor blocks (to allow light) between each floor. It was an amazing experience. The Central Library has now be redone and those glass floors no longer exist. Too much of a fire hazard to have such open floors. Ardis was looking for a book about about a fox. Her favorite! We found it and read it. It was a small time together. But I had an opportunity to experience her grace and beauty. She was so easy to be with and made you feel special. She is one of those people who truly made the world a better place just by being in it.
A 'Beauty' in every way... So giving and full of love.
Our deepest sympathy.

Sincere sympathy to Jim and the family. I knew Ardis th Harbour Towne. She always had a smile on her face and a story in her pocket. She was such a good storyteller especially at a few Halloween parties we attended at the LeBel’s. She and Jim were quite a creative team. We’ll miss her. May she Rest In Peace. I’m sure she regaling many in heaven with her tales!!
I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. Ardis was an amazing lady....quick with a smile and a great story! May the memories made comfort you in the days to come. My deepest sympathy.
I am so sorry for your loss. She was such an amazing woman. She will be sorely missed by everyone who was lucky enough to know her. I always loved talking to her at your parties. I could listen to her speak for hours. She was so full of life and filled every room with Sunshine.
Heaven is blessed to have her now. May she rest in peace.
I loved her story telling in the park in Dunedin! May she rest in peace in the arms of Jesus.
Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord and let the perpetual light shine upon her. May her soul and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. The parish families at St. Francis de Sales Church
