Joe, Lisa, Laura,

We will always cherish the memories of the times we spent together in Pine Ridge. We couldn't have had a better neighbor and friend as we shared our many life's experiences together. We missed you all greatly when you moved and will always count your family as a blessing and each of you as one of life's true friends. Cathy's life was a gift and we will cherish the time our families shared.

Although it's difficult today to see beyond the sorrow, may looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow. Prayer and a tincture of time will give you strength. Lean on your friends for strength, and always remember how much you are cared about.

Love,

Gordon, Marlene, & Chad
