To Randy Mark and your families,

We know it has been a very tough time for you during Isabelle's long stay in the nursing home.
She has been a veryspecial person in our lives for many many years.
I first met her in 1948 and Elizabeh in 1949.
She signed a lot of delivery tickes for me when I delivered oxygen to Lewis Gale,
Please accept our condolences, prayers and best wishes now and for the future.
