Dear Miller Family,
So sorry to hear of the loss of your Mother. I got to know Ginny at Wingate when my Mother-in-law Gwen West lived there. We had many long conversations in the front lobby. She was a good sport when I would bring things in to dress-up for the Holidays.I have a few pictures of her and I hope she gave you some that I took and gave to her. I am a nurse too and we would talk about our experiences and of course our families. She was a great lady. I know the loss you feel because I lost my Mother-in-law who lived at Wingate in April. My thoughts are with you.Please contact me if you want more pictures.
You are in my prayers.
Love,
Susan West

Kevin, Joy and Family, I was so sorry to hear of your Mother's death. I lost both my parents earlier this year and it is comforting to know that they are whole and healthy again as is your Mother. Take care, and remember, we are just down the street if you need anything. God Bless.

Dear Kevin,
Your Mom is in a better place now, no more suffering. As I see it, she is already off to finish her trip around the world to all the places she didn't get a chance to see. God Bless you Kevin and God Bless Ginny.
Love Wendy
