Not sure what to say?

Dear Blair, you were a faithful support for both your parents. There is a special place for you in God's Kingdom. Your patience and long suffering as a primary care giver was truly inspirational. The story of your daily routine to manage your home and personal affairs as well as your mothers and fathers is one for the books. You always were there them both and I know they appreciated all that you did for them. I know now that they are both at peace and I hope you too will find peace and...

Boo Boo,

We will miss our Great-Granny. We love you.

Skip and Carl were both very fortunate to have you for their daughter to look after them when they needed help the most. For Skip to be such a tiny little person, she left a great big hole in the world when she left. But, now she is with Carl and everything is as it should be. You should be happy knowing that you have done what any decent child would do by looking after and caring so much for your parents. My prayers are with you, the grandchildren and the great-grandchildren.

Dear Granny - I miss you Granny, and hope you will be happy with Granddaddy now. Your grandson, Scott

Blair, I have heard so much about your mother from my mother, Jackie. My mother spoke so highly about your mother. She was such a wonderful lady. I am sorry for your loss.

Dear Blair - I thought so much of your dear mother who recently passed away and left an emptiness in our hearts. I only met her once, but came to know her and love her through you and with my phone conversations with her over the past twenty years. She was a great lady full of charm and zest for life. I remember her so petite and beautiful and how she depended on you. You were always there for her and what a comfort you were for her. I know she loved you very much and never felt alone...

Blair, this picture of your Mom is just like I remember her when we were teenagers. We had such fun then even though we drove her crazy. We'll miss her. Love ya

Blair,
We are sorry to hear of your loss. Although I am sorry that I never got to meet your Mom I am glad to know that we may have brought her some peace by finding her sister, my Nana. Even though they never met I know that they are together now. Try to get some rest. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Margie, Em & Ron

Blair, Hank and and all your family, our thoughts and prayers are with you. I have many wonderful memories of your parents and know they had a wonderful loving life together. Just knowing they are now together and how very much they loved and appreciated the love and attention you showed them for so many years, I know you have the strength to carry on and with God's love and your children and close friends you will be fine! We love you!
