Dear Mike, Karen, Alisia, and Alan,

We just heard about Grandma from the church bulletin. She was a wonderful grandmother to Sean during his childhood and a great friend to me.
She saw him through to the end.

Our love and prayers are with you - I wish I had known about this earlier so we could have been there to support you.

Love,

Janet & John Staib
