Dear Scott, Mark & Laurie:
Our sincere condolences on the loss of your mom & mother in law. I have a life time of memories of her kindness, soft spoken wisdom and strength of character. I feel so blessed to have gotten to see her at the party last fall and am thankful that you made sure she was able to come. It's a comfort to know how much you loved and supported her. You all meant so much to her. She was always proud to share news of her family. As Dale's daughter, I will always remember my Aunt Jane as a wonderful person.
