Dear Beth, My mother was Marcella at Canyon Lakes – the little lady who sat with her back to the fireplace at dinner. I have such fond memories of your Mother when my mom shared the table with your Mom. I loved hearing stories about her life – I especially loved her sweet smile. Take care – Judy
Dear Beth,
Again, our condolences for your Mom, and thanks for all your support in the Caregiver’s Network. Your Mom was blessed to have a daughter as sweet as you.
Thank you, too, for sharing the poem about “My First Christmas with Jesus.” It is really consoling when we think of our Mom, gone just one week now.
Love in Christ,
Larry and Sallie
