Dear Jeanine and Cheryl,
I was sad to read about your sweet mom. No matter how old or ill someone is, somehow it is not O.K. So many times I hear the Residents Families say they can not beleive their loved one has gone or that they feel like an orphan even though they are in their fifties and sixties. My prayers are with all of you at this time. I think of you both often and hope you are well otherwise. A very "old" friend, Jan (Nicol) Carpenter
