Dearest Carol and Family,

Words can't express the sadness and love I feel for you and your family. You took such good care of your mother.
Your mothers hands could do anything,take a roast out of the oven with her hands,plant a flower,make a dress, spank a butt and hug a person so they knew they were loved.She was a wonderful woman. I will miss her with all my heart.
I love all of you,
Lynnette Jellison
