Dear Al & Sylvia, and Ray & Sandy, my heart and prayers are with you as you say goodbye to your mom. Another classic and genuine example of the great generation of immigrants who gave us such a solid foundation. I especially love the pictures in your memorial album of your mom and dad together as I can still see them that way. I guess this is the season for us to say goodbye to our parents until we get to join them in glory. Strength and peace to you.

My sincere condolences on the loss of an amazing lady who always was a joy to talk to when cleaning her room at the Villa. We had our share of laughs and jokes. We would talk about her birth place Aalten as that was my mother’s. Going to miss Jenny a lot and her amazing knitting and crocheting. Treasure the memories. Thoughts and prayers are with you all. Hugs.
