To Marian, Kay, Victor and the other siblings. I wish to express my deepest sympathy to all of you for the loss of your mother. I am sorry that I was unable to visit with you following her passing. It is difficult losing a parent or anyone you love, however remember she is now free from pain and suffering. You loved her, but God loved her best. May she rest in peace.
