Tributes

Mary, I am sorry for your loss. My thoughts are with you and your family during these difficult times. You have always been such a good friend and tremendous blessing to me. If you need anything, even just to talk, give me a call. "May tender memories soften your grief, May fond recollection bring you relief, And may you find comfort and peace in the thought Of the joy that knowing your loved one brought... For time and space can never divide Or keep your loved one from your side. When memory paints in colors true, the happy hours that belonged to you." --Helen Steiner Rice
