Phyllis, I saw Erlene's death in yesterday's paper. My thoughts and prayers are with the family - especially you. I know you have been there for her, especially during her last hard years. I remember you telling me that the service and care at Lucy Corr was outstanding. At times, all we can do for someone is to love them continously.
Love, Barbara
