Sharon, I know how hard it is to loose your Mom, I lost my parents 71 days apart. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your Dad. I saw your father last Friday and he looked really good, but says that he has good days and bad days. I pray for both of you.

Sharon, I have great memories of Mrs. Thorpe from years ago when I dated your brother. She was always nice and caring. Lost contact over the years, but always asked your Dad how she was. Getting old is not easy, but it's our task to take care of them. Prayers to you and the family.
