Kevin,
I am so sorry I did not know your mother and my friend had passed until after the services. You know we worked together for many years at JRMC. I also will always remember the times you and she would come to our OTM performances. She was a very loving and giving person. You stay strong in God and one day you will see her again.
Love and prayers,
Sarah Maucher

You mother worked with me at JRMC for many years. She was diagnosed with breast cancer a year after I was diagnosed with breast cancer. She was a very sweet person and I will miss her. I gave her a wig that I could not stand and she wore it out. We had a big laugh over this. We had fun during the Pink Tea modeling and the whole group of us are just loss for words over her passing. God Bless you and just take it one day at time.
