Dear Terry, Gail, Larry, Gary, and Rhonda. I'm so sorry to hear about your Mother. But I'm sure she is in a much better place and with your Dad and Dick. Her illness was difficult for your family and I hope you are all okay. I had all intentions of visiting you this evening, but I had a hypoglycemic episode this afternoon and do not feel safe to drive. You all will be in my prayers. I still miss my Mom. Focus on the good and happy memories you all have over the years.

God Bless all of you.
