Bill and family,

Neil, Maddie and I are so sorry for your loss. Vida was a lovely person, and I'm so glad I had the pleasure of meeting her in person. I know it has been a difficult few months for you all. We just pray that time, loving memories, and God's peace will ease your pain. Take comfort in the fact that He has taken Vida's pain away.

Love,

Neil, Deb and Maddie Haag
