Just wanted to say how sorry I am about Aunt Mart. She is in a better place now and I am sure that Dad and Uncle Gene are there waiting on her. Along with your Dad, Grandma and Grandpa. I am sorry I could not be there for you, but know I am thinking of you all.
Your Cousin,
Linda

A special thanks to all of you who took the time for a word or a prayer. A phone call or a hand. Anyone who knew my mom, loved her. I know how important life was to her. She touched so many hearts. She is already missed more than she will ever know, and loved even more. A special thanks to Hospicare for the last couple of days and nights they were there. And to all the nurses Cayuga Medical for their care and kindness and especially the aids who matched Mom tear for tear right along with us. Thank you.
