Dear Justin & Shannon,
I know this has to be a hard time for you and your families. The love your Mom and you had for each other was passionate and eternal, which I know makes this even harder because of it. Aleta will be greatly missed in so many realms of life by family, friends, co-workers and patients. She always gave her very best at whatever she did. When I met her 30 something years ago she was my manager and her integrity, honesty, and loyalty was what drew us together as friends and later on friend/sisters. I know there have been hard times and good times through the years with your family, and we all make mistakes in life, but what stands out to me most about Aleta is that her love for her family never wavered or diminished in anyway for I spoke to her often and our discussions were rarely NOT about her family or mine. Her greatest desire for all of her family was to be able to spend eternity in heaven with all of you. So remember there will come a time you can see her again in a better place than this.
My love and Prayers,
