Hi Pat
I wanted to let you know how sorry I am to hear about the loss of you mother. I remember meeting your mother many years ago. I know how hard it is to loose someone who has been a part of your life from the fist moment. I know that for me, remembering the good times and the life lessons learned allows me to hold both my parents in my thoughts and allows them to be a part of my daily life. May you find comfort in you family, friends and memories.

How sad to hear of the passing of Florence. She was such a gift to us at Shepherd's Table. Her presence as a volunteer at the Clothes Closet not only helped wirth the sorting of clothing but also in providing a joyful spirit in the room. Florence brought joy everyday that she came to serve. We will miss her. We will remember her with smiling hearts and gratitude! Jacki Coyle, Executive Director Shepherd's Table.
