Terri, I am sorry to hear about your mother’s passing. She was, I thought, a real upbeat and positive person. I enjoyed seeing her at the golf course, bowling alley, or even at the grocery store. I’m sure you are going to miss her a great deal more than anyone, but take some solace in knowing that there are probably hundreds of people who are also thinking kindly of her today and in the future. My best wishes to you……Wayne.
Terrie:

Terrie,
I knew your Mother from the VA where we worked. She was a wonderful lady and a great nurse.
She was well liked by her staff, the patients she cared for and had many friends. I will always remember her and how proud she was of you and your family.
