Mom, it's not the same at the Care Center without you--you are missed by so many people. I never realized just how many lives you had touched there. It's been over 2 weeks & I am still receiving a card or two each day in the mail. I miss you so but I am so grateful for the last 3 years that I had with you. I hope you are enjoying walking & dancing with the 'angels'. God bless my sweet Mommy-thank you for always being there for me........I'll love you always. Your daughter, Gail

I am very sorry for the loss of Babe. She was a lovely person and cousin. Although I haven't seen her in may years, I have thought of her. She was always so upbeat and postive. May she rest in peace.
