Dick and Rosanne-
We didn't know your mother, only her son. That says a lot about a person. She did a wonderful job! We are so very sorry for your loss. You did everything you could and more. Your parents are at peace and hopefully together again. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Much love.

My deepest sympathy to all of you. Your mom was a wonderful woman with a beautiful smile. I am an aide in the Babson Unit where your mom use to be and she always told me that I had wonderful posture. When she left Babson, I enjoyed a visit with her now and then in Garden View. She had a wonderful smile. But most of all she had a wonderful family who were so attentive to her, I was always impressed with the attention given to her by her family. I hope you can find some comfort in knowing how much you all meant to her and knowing that you were so good to her. Keeping her memory alive will help you get through this difficult time. Know that you are in my prayers and that I cared alot about your mom.
