Betsy and family -- I was so saddened today to hear of the loss of your mother. While I only met her twice, she was a very gracious woman and I really enjoyed our conversation. You are in my thoughts.

So very sorry about the loss of your wonderful mother and grandmother. From what Jacquey has told me about her, Katie was a very nurturing, loving and supportive mother/grandmother. Sending prayers for comfort and peace to you all during this time, and may the many memories you have made over the years help sustain you all.

Dr Kennon, my deepest sympathy in the loss of your mother. I remember how we always spoke of her when I brought Edward to your office for his appointment. How fortunate you and your family were to have her all those years and for her still to be independent. What a strong person she must have been. I'm sure she will be missed.
