Dave,Martha,Anne&Family,
My sincere condolence of the passing of your mother. May God's arm surround you at this time. I remember playing cards with both your parents and playing with crickette that chocolate Chihuahua that thought he was a much bigger dog then he was. Your parents where always kind and hospitable to me.

Martha and your family,
I just learned of the news of your mother's death (from Ann). I am so sorry. I have admired the care and attention your family has spent in caring for your parents these last few years, and letting the care arragnements shift and evolve over time as you do what you can to keep your mother comfortable. I hope my siblings and I can do as well for my parents in the years to come.

Anne, Martha, David & Family.
In the short time I knew & cared for your Mother, I became to love this dear little lady. There's a little empty space in my heart, I miss her. I know she is at peace, no more pain and she heard for the last time "come on Mary get up out of bed". Anyone knowing Mary knew she loved to sleep and her biggest pet peeve was getting out of bed. Forever peace & rest Mary. My own Red Cardinal "Mary". Never to be forgotten.

David.
I'm sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. I remember her vividly from the week we shared in Canada when you offered me a room for the week. She was a kind and generous lady and certainly will be missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.
