Dear Nora and Family, Your mother's passing has been a shock to all of us at the lodge. I will always treasure the memories of your mom hanging in there with us and decorating for the Original Italian Street Festival, she certainly was a trooper. I pray that God's love will surround you, comfort you and be your strength during this sad time of your lives. I'm here for you whenever you need me.
In Christian love,
Mary Louise Smith
