We are so sorry we will not be able to attend the services for your mom. We have a previous commitment that prevents us from doing so, otherwise we would be there. We are neighbors of your mom's and she certainly brought a life to our neighborhood that we will miss. Our prayers are with all of you.
Fondly, Frank & Louise Leonard
