Lee, I am so very sorry to learn of your mother's death. She was such fun and great company for Steve's parents during their brief stay at Oak Grove Inn as they shared a table in the dining room. They spoke of her often when they moved to Cara Vita and were hopeful she was doing well. Please know how much she was loved by so many. I hope and pray you and your family feel God's presence during this difficult time and you can reflect on all of the fond and loving memories you built over your lifetime. Thinking of you and praying for your family. Isaiah 43:2
With love...
