Dear Gwen and Andy,
I only took care of your Mom a few times at Culpeper Hospital, but it was time enough to become extremely fond of her. I sincerely pray for your peace and comfort during this time, knowing that she has gone to a much better place with no suffering. I myself look forward to seeing her again in the great by and by. Much love,
Sue Ann

Dear Gwen and Andy,
Your mother was a good woman, and I know you will miss her. I have so many fond memories of her (and your dad) at your home and at the store, especially how they were always feeding us!!!!! I will be thinking of you during the coming days and weeks.
Love, Alison
