Dear Michele and Tracy,
Our deepest sympathies to you on the loss of your mother and grandmother. I know that she was talented woman and that life, as she once knew it, was no longer the same. That doesn't make it any easier to bear, however, her loss. But, the knowledge that she is at peace with our Lord does. That is what helps us to move from one day to the next. We will keep her and you in our prayers.
Denver, Marsha, and Emily

Tracey, Michele, Connor and Nora,
You have our deepest sympathy on the loss of your mother and grandmother. As I told Michele, I truley believe that God gives a gift to patients with dementia, and that is clarity at the end of their life. I believe Elizabeth had this. You will all be in our thoughts and prayers. We love you.
