Thinking of your family, in your time of sorrow.
Abe, Linda & Family – I have precious memories of ‘Woo’ as my children called her. She was an inspiration to me and encouraged me more than she ever knew. I am so glad that Virginia has finally ‘found’ her. She loved her dearly and in her last days talked of looking for Lou when her mind became confused. I know they are happy in Heaven now just waiting for us. ‘Heaven’s Sounding Sweeter All the Time’. I love all of you – Joyce & Bill
Dearest Lynda & family,
My deepest and most heartfelt sympathy goes out to you today. I only wish I could be there to share this time with you. I am there with you when you need a friend. My thoughts are with you constantly hoping that somehow you will know. Keep your faith strong and know that your Mom is whole again and no more pain. She can walk again and laugh, and heaven must be such a beautiful place. Celebrate her life and see her in the legacy she has left for you; your beautiful grandbabies. Much love to all, Sue

Lynda:
I was so sorry to hear about your mother. I just lost my dad in September and know what its like to lose a parent, but sometimes its best to let them go. I certainly don’t want my parents to suffer as I know you don’t either. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.
