Jim, Robin, Ann, Debbie and families,
We want to say we are so sorry for the loss of your dear mom and grandmother. She was such a dear woman who we were so blessed to have shared fun and happy times with. She looked forward to our holiday gatherings and felt the warm welcome and love we shared with each other. Her love for her family was so plain to see and her acceptance of everyone's differences made her the special lady she was.
May you all find peace knowing she is in Gods hands and keep the happy memories of her in your hearts forever.

Although No word is enough to help you take away your pain, but our Heavenly Father can give the strength and the comfort to those with a broken heart. Psalms 9:9. May you be granted the inner peace to help you cope with your loss. Our thoughts are with you; Please accept our sincere condolences.

I took care of Jackie on two occasions at MMC on R7. She was such a delightful lady and even though she was terribly ill, I enjoyed seeing her and spending time with her. My heart goes out to her entire family as you work through this loss...
