Sharon and family,
Jim and I will dearly miss your mom as I'm sue you and the rest of your family will. I'm so glad that she and your dad happened to call a couple of years ago, come over to visit Jim and me while I recuperated from Rotator cuff surgery, and in turn along with you, invited a couple of years ago to join us in celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary. We will treasure our time together with the three of you as well as the many times that we got together with you for birthday get-togethers and whatever else it was. She was one special person and glad that she and your Aunt Lorraine led us to Faggs Manor. Had it not been for the two of them, I'm not sure how we would have met such a great family. She will certainly be missed. Our love to all of you in during this difficult time. Donna Law
