dear Ford Family,
My Parents also lived at Marina Place when your mom was there. It was a pleasure to see your mom when I came to visit. We missed her when she moved. Mary and all of you are in our prayers.

Dear John, Patrick, Liz, Gerald and Mo. Words cannot express my deepest sympathy for the loss of your mom. Your family was and always will be very special to me. Your mom was a great inspiration and role model for me as a child and she made me the person I am today. Although we had not seen each other in a while she and your family are always on my mind and will be for the rest of my life. I am always thinking back to my childhood days and the memories I shared with your family.

Your Mom was a pleasure to care for and we miss her as well. There was not a day that she did not smile or flash us her one of a kind expression of surprise at something/anything we were doing with her. Our thoughts are with you at this time. Peace and Prayers. Sincerely, the Marion Manor Nursing Home staff 5 North

Hello Ford Family,
I am so so sorry for your loss. It was one of the hardest things in my life when my mom passed away... but there isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of her and all the wonderful memories we had with her. Your mom would want you to do the same and is smiling down on you from above, i'm sure her and (Joanie)are having alot of laughs and chatting it up! :)
