Dear Beth and family,
So sorry to hear of the passing of your mother. She was Linda's neighbor for a while at The Meadows, and from the first time I met her there, I loved her, and enjoyed every moment of the times we spent together. She certainly was 'one of a kind'. Our memories of her will always be full of love, laughter, and joy. She will never be forgotten. So sorry for your/our loss. Hugs for you as you go through this difficult time. Please know she always spoke of you with love and pride.

I am very sorry about your loss, I worked with your mother at the first national bank many years ago. Eileen always impressed me as a very caring and a wonderful lady. I am so very pleased that I got to work with her.
