Lucien, I am very sorry to read of the passing of your mother. I always remember her with a smile and the love she showed to all her children. As hard as the days are today, time has a way of healing and reminding us of the good times, it just takes a while, love you Wendy and Ted

Dear Sandy,
I'm so glad that we had those few hours together before you left us. We spoke of things that made us happy, and some that made us sad. [had our little therapy sessions.] After a long chat, you got sleepy, "as usual," We had our hug, then I kissed you on the cheek, told you I'd be back. You left us too soon after that. Today I'm missing you kiddo, but we'll meet again.
Your forever friend since 1959.
Love Penny

Dear Billy, Lucien, Vicky, Dori, Lisa and April.
At times like this there are no words that will make your pain go away. I think your Mom raised, six, great children, who are all successful, as a single parent. The years fly by and we all lost touch. She is one of the people I regret not keeping in touch with. Your Mom was the greatest. You know, rascal that she could be, she's looking down on us and smiling that beautiful smile of hers.
You're all in my thoughts and prayers.
