To Jim, Kathy and Judy: I am so sorry and sad at the loss of your mom and a great neighbor and friend. I pray that all of you take advantage of the grieving councelors that are available to you through Hospice.
I am in pain every day over the loss of my mom, and with the Holidays upon us it's even harder. I've been blessed with a great councelor and I thank God for him every day.

Dear Jim, Kathy & Judy,
Over these last years I have come to know your Mom through you. What a wonderful family she raised. You are all a true tribute to your Mother and her love and values will live on through all of you. I'm so sorry you lost her, and I pray for your peace knowing that you took such good care of her all of her life, as she took care of you. Soon you will start remembering all of the good times together. Keep those in your heart always! Much love to you and our sincere sympathies, Connie & Paul
