I'm thinking about all of you today. I feel so bad I couldn't make it to the funeral. Gary had a procedure yesterday and I don't want to leave him. I love you and will be praying for you.

Diane, so sorry to hear about your mom. She was the sweetest lady. When I sat by her at bingo she always offered candy or whatever she had. She will be missed.
