Dianne-
It is with a sad heart that I learned of your mom's passing on Friday
at Waterview.
You are an amazing daughter and you did it all.
You were there daily to
give her care, kindness and love.
Never forget her wonderful sense of
humor -she came out with some clever one liners!
She is looking down
from heaven upon her daughter with pride.
God Bless you and your family.
Lots of love - Denise

Dot, I know we haven't kept in touch since high school, but I think of you now and then, and was saddened to hear of your mother's passing. My family lost my dad and youngest brother this past year, so I have an idea what your family is going through right now. Thinking of you during this difficult time.
