She is now with the love of her life. - Reinnie. I know she's waited over ten years to join him. I will always remember her care and concern for his well being as he lived most of his life with diabetes .

Thinking of you and your family, Anne at this difficult time of letting go. I hope your memories will be a comfort for all of you. Wish I could make it there to hug you in person on Monday. Get an extra hug from Mary and I will give you the real thing when I see you next. I hope that's soon.
