Carol, Steve and Becky: We are so sorry for your loss. We will miss your mom. Your mom was not just and aunt, but a friend as well. When we had medical problems, she showed concern and gave us hope and wished us a speedy recovery. We will miss her conversations, both by phone and visits. She was always on top of special events and holidays by sending greetings and always following up with a call. Our deepest sympathy goes out to each of you and your families.

Becky and family,
We have lost touch over the years, but I did want to express my sympathy for the loss of your mom. Your mom was a wonderful and very understanding lady.
We are never ready to let go or our loved ones, but God and heaven call.
With prayers and love
