I had not been at work for over a week. When I returned, I found out about the loss of your loved one, Ms. Meredith. I'm sending my prayers and sympathy to you and your family. It sure will not be the same at LakePark not seeing the both of you. May God continue to bless the both of you and your family. (Receptionist at LakePark)

Dear Jim and Bernie, I really wish I could have made it to see Clarice. Her picture that I saw in the Blade was so lovely and was a superb justice to her beautiful spirit and lovely face. She will be remembered and will always be cherished by those who knew her best. Clarice will never be forgotten to any of us. Blessings to you and your family and just remember, God will guide you as you move through this life, just pray daily. My thoughts are with you.

Dear Merediths,
I doubt if you know us but we visited Clarice at Lake Park on a regular basis We got to know her when she was Edith's roommate. She was so quiet but always so pleasant and I pray that the Lord Jesus will comfort your hearts. Sincerely, Judy and Lorene

I pray God give you the strength to resume your life knowing she is in heaven and God is taking care of her. You did everything you could while she was here on earth, and now it's His turn. Love from the Janes Family
