Sandra,
I was awfully sorry to hear about your mom. She was always so cheerful and out-going--and I don't remember ever not knowing her. Lewis and Dan send condolences along with all our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Sandra,
Your mom was very special to all of us at the Glebe. I will miss seeing her walk down to Health Care to get her hair done or to come to activities. She always had a smile about everything-- even when it came to having her blood drawn. She was a sweet, kind lady, and we appreciate you sharing her with us these past few years.

Sandra,
Your mother was one of the sweetest people I ever had the pleasure of meeting during my time in Buchanan. She would always speak of you with a smile on her face and I know how close at heart you both were. I know you will miss her, but what a precious and wonderful thing it must have been to have her as a mother. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
