Dear David and Family~ I am devastated reading this.. but filled up with gratitude that we were in touch regularly the past 6 mos. I was always so thrilled to see a positive post from her.. I know she fought so hard and had a wonderful attitude~ I can only pray that she is no longer in pain. As you know our families go back forever~ and growing up she was designated as an "older" mentor for me...May her memory forever be a blessing for you and your families~ I send all my love from Chicagoland.

Please accept my deepest condolences. May you find solace and peace in your many wonderful memories and in knowing that God is there to comfort those who mourn. Isaiah 61:1,2. May treasured memories shared over the years also bring you a measure of comfort
