Dear Mary Ann, Gina, and family, I wanted you to know what an honor it was to help care for your mom and to participate in your grieving process. Thank you so much for the wonderful gift bag, which was much appreciated. The greatest gift you gave me was to allow me to be a small part of your life. May God comfort and sustain you, and may you go from strength to strength. Love, Lisa Mittman

Mary Ann, I just heard about your Mom today and I want you to know my prayers are with you and your family. I loved her like a sister and I have such wonderful, fun memories of her from years ago when I lived in Milwaukee. Our friendship was very special. I will miss her. Love to you and your family.
