Dear Pam,
I was sad to hear of your mom's passing. She was such a beautiful woman. I have so many memories of everyone being down at Ella's. I know you will really miss her. You were a good daughter to her. It was easy to see the love you had for one another.
Praying you find comfort.
Sincerely,
Janice Holt
