April 14, 2020 at 3:01 pmLove your mom so much. She was the most kind and thoughtful person ever. Always serving others and putting their needs above her own. I loved her infectious laugh. She was a light to all she was around. Wish we could all be there. Happy for the great reunion she is having. No one could have been more patient and better with your dad than she was when he was not well. She was such a good care giver to all. We will miss her. I love how close all of you are, getting together for lunches all the time and just to laugh and enjoy friendships with each other. Keep that tradition going. When things get back to normal give me a call and Nora Ann and I will come and go to lunch with you all of you! Sending love and best wishes.
