I was introduced fairly recently to the family and all I’ve heard about is how good a person, mother, grandmother and great grandmother she was. I didn’t get a chance to meet her during those times but I wish I had. It greatly saddens me that her family is having to endure this hard time. My best hopes and wishes for the family to heal quickly after this.
I’m praying for the family and friends in this time of lost .I’m here if you need to talk. It was my pleasure being able to help take care of your mother.
