Dear Gail and family. We were so sorry to hear of the passing of your wonderful mother. I told Jerry about her passing. She and you attended Frank Ensign's (Jerry, Terry and Gary's step father) service and it was a pleasure to meet you all. Prayers to the family for healing and now they are all looking down on us and they will live on in your hearts.
