Dear Colleen, Kathy, Sharon and families, I wanted to express my sorrow for all of you in the loss of your mother. I heard so many wonderful things about her from Kathy over the years. She was a really amazing woman and handled herself well through the long years of her illness. I'm pretty sure I got one of her favorite prayers from Kathy when I was going through cancer treatment - it helped me in some dark hours.

You are so blessed to have each other, and I know you will all carry on the legacy that your mother started of caring for and loving one another.

God Bless.
