Dear Lisa, Jacquie and Jay:

We were both shocked and heartbroken to have
learned that your dear mother has passed.

We all shared many wonderful years as close
neighbors and faithful friends, for which we shall
always feel blessed.

Your mom was so special in so many ways, but to us, there was one characteristic that made her stand out above all whom we know; namely,
her true love, devotion and dedication to her
children and grandchildren. You were, indeed,
her life's fulfillment and you must never forget
that!

We are so sorry for your great loss and we pray
that the beautiful memories of the past will help
you to heal in the near future.

Our hearts and love are with all of you.
