To Jane and Ron,

We were so sorry to hear of your father's passing. Where has the time gone? It seems like only yesterday when my mother, Evelyn, was sharing a room with your mother, Lucy, at the Norwood Hospital. Your mother's positive reinforcement kept my mother's spirits high. It has been a long and hard road for your parents as it was for mine; thankfully, their battle is over and they are again reunited. Our deepest condolences to you and your family during this difficult time.
