Jean, Alex, and Family,

I am so sorry for your loss - you are in my thoughts and prayers. What a beautiful picture of your mother and grandmother - I am sure she was as beautiful on the inside as she was on the outside!

Just a note to my grandma, I miss you terribly but I know you are in a much better place, a place with no pain and grandpa right by your side. We laid you to rest today. I will never forget you.

Thank you to all that have left nice comments. She was a sweet woman!

I was sorry to read of Maria's passing. She and Paul were my patients for over 20 years. They were kind gentle people whom were a pleasure to care for. Maria had a kind heart and never complained. I am pleased to see that her Bible was well worn, but am not surprised. I will be in surgery tomorrow but would be at the funeral.
In Christ's love
