I am sorry for your loss. Mr. and Mrs. Patel were kind to me during the blizzard of 1996 allowing me to stay at their hotel an extra day after the money had ran out. I never forgot that. Journey well Mrs. Patel, for your job here is complete and satisfied, you suffer no more. Blessings to you all.

Sincerely, Lynn Thompson
