Betty,
We are thinking of you in the time of the loss of your loved one. You are in our thoughts and prayers. If there is anything we can do let us know
Betty and family,
You are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. We all know what a special lady Leila was, but we also know where she is right now. She does not have to suffer or have pain anymore. She is probably rejoicing right now and enjoying her family that she has not seen in a long time. If there is anything I can do for you or your family please let me know. You all know that Leila is much better off than we are. I Love You All.
