Mary Beth & Coach,
I'm very sorry to hear of your loss. When I was by to see my mother Friday I noticed that the door was closed and knew it meant your mother had gone to a better place. Your family is in my prayers.

As a sitter for Fay, I had the privilege of meeting Edith. She always looked forward to me bringing Fay to visit her. Edith was a very loving lady.
My thoughts and prayers to all of the family.

Mary Page and Family:
I am sorry to read about your Mother. With both of my parents gone now, I have some idea of how you must feel. I have been thinking of you. Whenever I talk to Beulah, I have asked about you. Please know I care and hope, as a family, you will support each other to endure this pain. My prayers are with you.
