My sincere condolences for your loss. At Psalm 90:10, a person who lives to be eighty years old and beyond is described as being "especially strong." This is truly a blessing from God.

Dear Kathy, Wayne and Family,
I truly count it a privilege and a blessing to have worked with your mother these last couple of years! She was such a sweet lady whose smile and humor "made my day". She is already greatly missed! May God grant you comfort and give you peace.
