Mike, Jeff, and Matt,
My sincere condolences to you over
your loss. Met her and Mike at an open house at Midwest Metal Products where Jeff works, 10 years ago, and she was so nice.
I see where Jeff gets it.
To see a co-worker go through the
health struggles of a loved one puts
life into perspective.
She did good and led a productive
and fruitful life.
May she rest in eternal and blissful
peace.
