Bev, I will always remember how sweet your mother was to me. She was such a spry and spirited lady into her advanced years, setting an example for us all. My last memory of this dear lady was the two of us taking Charley and Prince for a walk near your house. This was just before you left for Florida, and I remember thinking, 'Hope I am able to walk the dog when I reach Jenny's age." May you find consolation in knowing that you were a wonderful daughter, that you were always there for her. You provided her with a sense of safety and love, so she never had to feel alone as she grew old. I admired the way you cared for your mother, just one of the reasons I love you and cherish your friendship.

Karen so sorry to hear about the passing of your step-mom "Jenny". I remember her so much when you came to visit your Dad and I would come down to their house in the Court. I lost my Mom back last Oct and it's very hard, so I know what the family is going thru right now. My Prayers are with you and Beverly during this difficult time.
