Dear Robert and Family...

I am so sad to see that your

wife (mother) has passed away.

I will always remember what a

dear lady she was when I took

care of her when I worked for

Dr. Stewart, Gieseke ...I have been retired from there for

three years , but will always

remember the wonderful people

ike Elaine that I took care of

there...You will be in my prayers that the Lord will be with you in this time of sorrow.

May God bless and keep all of you in His lovinging care..

Sylvia Bushart ( Hope you remember who I am )
