Dear Liz,
Words cannot express how sad I am of the passing of May. Friday's at the Salon will not be the same without her. You were such a devoted daughter to her, and yes I mean daughter. Your devotion to Wayne and May. I hope you find comfort in the days and months ahead. Just remember I am only a phone call away. Much love to your family.
