I am sorry for your loss. My mother, Elsie, before she passed away, often enjoyed talking with Helen on the telephone. Be well.

Judy and family,

I am so sorry to hear of your mom's passing. I will not be able to attend as I am having surgery at that time. Please know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers.
