I was so pleased to meet Dolly and Mark on the way to Michigan for a family reunion. Such wonderful people. Mark was Jeff's favorite uncle.
May God bring you comfort in your loss.

Dear Lisa and other members of Mary's family,
Your Mom was such a delight - always a smile and a kind word as she motored along with her walker and you trailing along behind. I am so glad you brought her to Tree for so long so she could see her family there and we could see and talk with her. Thank you for that gift to us. I have missed her, but I trust that she's now pain free and skipping instead of rolling along. My deepest sympathy for each of you in her loss.
