Lisa,

I was so saddened to hear about your mother. Knowing the very special kind and caring woman you are I am sure that the same held true of your mother. I also am aware of how very devoted you, your husband and son have been to your mother and I am sure that she is smiling down on you with feelings of pride in her heart. With much love, Diane

Dear Elissa- I was so very sorry to hear of your mother's passing. My love and sympathy go to you and your family at this time. Your mother was a lovely lady and I feel priviledged to have met her.

Dear family,
I have been volunteering at the rehab for about five years and your mother was on my floor. Each Friday I would sing some Shabbat songs with some of the residents on her floor and your mother was the number-one, best singer in the group. Her smile and voice were a joy. My thoughts are with you and your family. She will be missed.
