Dear Carolyn: We were so sorry to hear about your mother's death. She'll be missed. We'd get a kick out of the stories you would tell about how "feisty" she was and how she loved the nurses at Heritage. You, your girls and your family will remain in our prayers here at SFX. God Bless.

Dear Carolyn, Barbara, Janet & Jimmy,
Losing a parent is not easy, no matter how old you are. As you experience the loss of someone so near and dear to you, try to remember that the sadness & grief you are feeling today will soon disappear; it will be replaced with all of those years of warm and happy memories that you shared with your wonderful Mom.
And also remember that you are in our thoughts and prayers as you go through this difficult time.
Love - Gale and David

I want to express my deepest sympathies to Carrie's family. I was lucky enough to help care for her at Cape Heritage Nursing Home. She was a true sweetheart and I will miss her sense of humor. She was very lucky to have such a wonderful caring family and spoke of you often. Keep her in your hearts as I will.
