David, I was talking to Nelda last night, and she told me about your Mother.
Rosie and I would like to extend our sympathy to you and your family.
I lost my Mother this past September after a 15year battle with Altzheimers.
Even though you are happy they no longer have to suffer, it is still hard.
I think of you often.
Rosie & Cindy
