Just wanted you to know that you and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers! I talked to Cheryl yesterday and she told me your Mom. I would come to the service but I'm unable to leave town--my Mom hasn't been doing well for the past couple of years and I'm living with her and taking care of her as long as I possibly can--I know you will understand the situation--Gerald is so supportive--don't know what I would have done without him helping me so much. Just know that even though many years have passed you are a friend I love. Treasure all the wonderful memories you have of your Mom and allow friends to be your angels on earth that help you fly when your wings are broken! God is good--He always provides the extra strength we need to get through difficult times! Love you, Brenda and Mary
