Dear Chris,My thoughts are with you now just as yours were with me a little over a year ago. No matter how old we are, it hurts terribly to lose our mothers. Just remember the good times and God bless you and your family.

Dearest Chris, It was a pleasure and privilege caring for your mom.Funny, we were together for ten years in the "old" building. Then once again we came together just this past year. I'm so happy we did, just to have the chance to care for her once again. My thoughts and prayers are with you in this most painful time. Doris told me all the time, how blessed she was to have you. You are much luckier than a lot of people, you should have very few regrets. You were a wonderful daughter and it didn't go unnoticed by people.I'll always remember Doris, some patients just have that effect on you.I've always refered to them as "another jewel in my heart" when they pass on. Take good care Chris, it's been a pleasure knowing you as well. Love, Jeana
