My deepest sympathy and prayers to you and your family. I will miss your mom's smiling face at St.Elizabeths. Your mom was a great inspiration to my family with my mom's(Gladys Parry) transition to St.Elizabeths. My mom enjoyed playing cards with the girls all due to your mom's efforts. Your mom was a great,great lady and words cannot express my sadness.
