I am so sorry to hear about your Mom. I am praying for you. I will not be able to get off work to come but know that I am thinking about you. Love, Carolyn
Alice,
I am sorry to hear about your Mother. Unfortunately I cannot attend her service tomorrow because we have a check-in. Please know that I am lifting you and your family up in prayer.
Aletha
Alice, Sandra, and Sharon. I could go on and on of the special memories that I will hold close to my heart while she made her home at Heather Glen. I can hear her voice now as she makes her way to my desk and asks,’ can I get a copy of this recipe?’ I loved hearing the stories behind the recipes.
It was my pleasure to be able to serve your Mother and the family.
Just want you to know how sorry I am for your loss, I will miss Dot too.
You will be in my thoughts and prayers.
