Megan,
I just wanted to let you know if you need anything please give me a call. You'll get through this with time. Just think what a cool guardian angel Ian will have! We'll have to have an after dinner coffee sometime in honor of Mom. Hang in there. Leslie

Megan:

No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. My deepest condolences are with you as you grieve. I had never met your mom personally, but I felt I knew her through you. If you need anything, you know where I am.

Larry, Megan and family ,
We will miss Patti so very much she was the perfect neighbor and friend. How grateful we are that she was the idea behind the neighborhood picnic this summer. It was a great way for all of us to spend a wonderful day with her and get to know all our neighbors.
