Dear Robin, Greg, Joy,
Dear Robin, Greg, Joy, Rachael, Liz, and all your families,
I am saddened to learn of the homegoing of your Mom and Nanny, and want to express my love and sympathy to each of you. I know she had a lot of wonderful years down here on earth and that you'll all be with each other again, but I know it doesn't make it any easier to let such a special person go.
You are such a special family, and I treasure the fact that I got to be a part of each of your lives for a while. Sending my heartfelt sympathy, too, to Ira...I know you'll keep taking good care of him until he gets to join Jean and be with Jesus.
Love, hugs, and prayers♥
