Dear Jane, Jim and Family

You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. We, for one, know how hard it is to loose a parent. We pray that in time all of the good memories of her will keep your Mom alive and well in your hearts. It was a pleasure to have met her.

John,

I am very sorry to hear about your Mom. There are no words that can help ease the pain right now. I lost my Dad around Christmas and it was never the same after that. Whoever said "Time heals all wounds" was on the right track. In time it will be better. I am sorry I will not be able to attend the service. My thoughts are with you. I have a hard time with Moms leaving. I miss mine more everyday. Maylyn
