David, Karen, and Paul,
I am so sorry to hear of your Mom's passing!
It was a privilege to meet her at Self a couple of years ago!
Of course, it was obvious she adored her son because she was quick to let people know how awesome you are. And Paul, how she adored that young man. She said he grew up too fast! She was so sweet as she spoke of Karen and how happy she made you!
I shared with her that I had worked for you in the past, and got the opportunity to thank her for raising you to become the man you are! She said it took both her and your Dad to get you raised! She always made me smile! There will be a void now that both of your parents are no longer with you. The joy of knowing your parents are in heaven together with our Lord and Savior is definitely cause for celebration! There will be precious memories that remind you of the active healthy Mom you knew. My Mom passed away a year ago next month. Once in a while I get a faint odor of the bath powder she used. It's a precious memory, and you will have yours too! You loved both of your parents, and you played your role as a son and as a caregiver very well!
God bless you!

Fran was special and I loved her dearly...and Harry too! They were so kind and generous. Frannie was the center of Medical Records and sort of kept us all working together. David, I'm the one your Mom passed along some of your childhood things too for my son, always much appreciated. Praying that God will be with you, Karen and Paul today and in the days ahead.
