Not sure what to say?

My condolences to you Lora for the loss of your Mom. She was one of the sweetest older patients I have ever had. She always had a smile for me ,even when she wasn't feeling well. She maintained her grace and charm until the end of her life. Also Lora, you can be proud of how well you looked after your Mom for many years. You have been a wonderful daughter for your mother.

Dear Lora M.
I was so blessed to be able to share a time in your mothers life. She was an inspiration in how to live life to the end and beyond.

I know she will always be close in my Heart. Love & prayers to you.

In deepest sympathy,

We were very sorry to here of Lora's passing. We will always have fond memories of Lora from our time at the Shoreview Condominiums. Our children enjoyed seeing her come and go and she always seemed to have a smile on her face. She was a kind and gracious person and will be missed.
