So sorry for the loss of your mom. I never had the opportunity to meet her but knew of your involvement in helping to take care of her. You should feel peace in knowing that you were there to help out in her time of need.

Best Wishes,

Dear Jay and Robin,
I am so deeply sorry for the loss of Rosalie. I will miss that sweet woman so much. I am so happy to have met her and been able to take care of her. It was a great pleasure. She was a smart, caring, sensative, loving woman. I would spend alot of time talking to her when she told me she was lonely. She told me I was the next best thing to her family. And that made us both smile. I told her all my secrets and she told me a few of hers. We became fast friends and i will miss her so much. I will also miss you guys when you came to visit her. Everyone at Morgan sends there love and condolences to you at this time of sorrow. Rest in peace Rosalie I miss you already!!!

So sorry to hear of your mother's death. She was a special person in many ways. Maybe she and my Mom will start a girl scout troop in heaven.
