Bob and Connie and Family,
I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your beloved Mother, mother-in-law and grandmother. We are never ready to lose a parent, no matter how long we have them with us, no matter how long we have to prepare. Rest assured she is at peace and perfect again in every way, and my thoughts and prayers are with you during this sad time and always. Please keep the good memories alive always in your hearts. Love, Babs Willen
