Linda,

I'm so sorry about your mother passing. I didn't find out till about an hour before the service. I wish I could've made it to the funeral. Beulah was a beautiful woman. She didn't have to wear make-up. She was beautiful inside and out. Give my condolences to your family as well.

Love and prayers,
Bunny

So sorry of hearing about your mother's passing. My mother (Romaine Duncan) was at Snyder's Nursing Home and I remember you coming in every day to visit your Mother and Dad. We would come in just about the same time to help feed them lunch. They were wonderful to Mother and to our family. I will never forget them and the wonderful people I met through Snyder's. My heart goes out to you and your family and just keep that smile on your face and remember the good times. Wanda Journell (Salem, VA)
