Barbara, Rhonda and family I am so sorry for your loss. I didnt know about it until today (Wednesday). You are in my thoughts and prayers and I know exactly what you are going through. You were so kind to my Mom while she was a resident at Riverview and it was always a joy to visit with your Mom while I was there. I know at the moment it doesnt seem like the hurt will end and with mine being so fresh I most definately know those feelings. If there is anything I can do please let me know. May God Bless you all during this time.You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Barbara and family,
My prayers and thoughts are with you at this time. Your Mom was a special person to me. I will always remember spending the night with her and your Dad and Aunt Sadie and Uncle Joe. She was always a fun person. One Halloween I went with her and her friend to trick or treat. What a time we had!!!She was in high school at the time. I have many, many happy memories of her. She is at peace now and time will heal our wounds. God Bless and comfort you all at this time. Cousin Jerri in South Carolina.
