To the family of Betty,

My name is Pam Black and I am the eldest daughter of Jeanne Gilmour. My mother loved Betty and always had a wonderful story to relate about their times together. I am so sorry to hear about her passing.

Sarah, Elizabeth & Chris,

I was so sad to hear about your dear mother. Your family and she were so special to my mother, Jeanne Gilmour. My mother admired the bond you had as a family and how you were each always there for your mother. Your love was so great that it spilled onto my mother and I thank you for that.

My thoughts are with you.

Elizabeth,
I'm so sorry to hear about the passing of your mom. There are no words that can comfort you right now, but just know that the memories you have of her, will always be with you. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Elizabeth, Sarah, and Chris:
Please accept my deepest condolences on the passing of your beloved mom. As you know, we talked and laughed a lot while I was working with Lizzie, but did not know that she had been so ill recently.I will miss her and miss hearing about her. What I do know is that she was so proud of each and everyone of you and loved all of you fiercely....she would fight for you and stand up for you...she was a wonderful mother and she knew how much all of you loved and cared about her. In spite of your grief, perhaps you can be happy in the respect that she and your dad may finally be together as I know how much she missed and loved him.

Love,
Anne Wold
