Greg - I was saddened to learn of the loss of your Mother and am sorry I cannot attend her services. From reading her obituary, I can see that she was a special person, very much involved in church and community work. As time passes, you will think back and smile about your good memories of her and her meaning to friends and family.

Words just never seem to be enough. We will miss Mrs. Fleming and always remember her. What a lady. It has been a real honor to know and care for her. We will never forget the day she reached out and made that bow for her wreath when we weren't moving fast enough for her. God Bless you all and be with you.
