Dear Maryellen, As difficult as it is for you right now we sincerely hope you find peace in knowing how much your mother loved you. You have so many of her traits which is so apparent in your many close family members and friends. Please know that we are only a phone call away for anything that you might need, even if it is only a shoulder. I smile everytime I think of her and those beautiful blue eyes...she would want us to remain close...let's do that.
Love,
Jeanne & Frank
