Judy and Family,

So sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. I always admired your devotion to your parents during the time we worked together. I have since lost my Dad and a brother, so share in your grief. You know that your faith will sustain you.

Judy and family,
I was so sorry to hear of your Mom's death. I know she will be missed by all that knew her. Please know that my prayers are with you and your family at this diffucult time.
I was so glad when my Mom went to live at Brighter Living that she was able to sit at the table for her meals with your Mom and Dad. I know your Dad is going to be lost without her, 67 years is a long time together.
Love to all......Gail
