Mom, It's been almost a year and I miss you with all my heart, but I take comfort in knowing that you are whole again and no longer a prisoner of Alzheimer's. I miss you and love you so much Mommy.

To the Family of Sally,
We would like to extend our heartfelt sympathy to all of you. It certainly was a delight to have Sally as a neighbor, even though it was for a short time. Amidst all the sadness we are happy that she knew the Lord and now is whole again. Please know that we will pray for your comfort in the period that lies ahead. Everlasting peace to you all.

Our thoughts & prayers are with you during this difficult time. We enjoyed the time we had to get to know Sally as our neighbor. We always enjoyed sitting on the patio visiting with both of you.

My prayers go out to all of you. Sally was my partner many times at our card club. She was a lot of fun. May God be with you in your time of sorrow.
