Roz, our time goes way back to 1966 when we and your family moved within a few days of each other into our neighborhood and became fast friends. I know you´ve been through a lot but you persevered with God´s help and I know He has a great reward for you seeing after your parents and siblings the way you did. Thank God you were able to retire and now it´s your time to rest and find peace ; God´s plans, His ways are not our plans/ways, but I am sure He is well pleased with the work you´ve done caring for your family. God Bless and keep you always. Love and prayers, the MotleyCrew @ 1042
