Dear Uncle Bill and Family,
We are so very sorry to hear of Aunt Lori's passing. Our thoughts and prayers
go out to you all in this difficult time. She was a wonderful and caring
soul, and has gone on to be with God.
My mother Katie also has Alzheimer's,
for the past 6 years now. She is probably in her final year of home care.
We understand some of what you have gone
though these past years.
God bless us all.

Dear Uncle Bill and family,
It is sorrowful to hear of Aunt Lori's death. I shall remember her with fondness; of bygone times at your home in Wausau and family gatherings at Marathon Park. May you be comforted by our Lord and Savior, Christ Jesus, who has conquered death.
"... we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed". 1 Cor. 15:51b-52.

Dear Dr. Miller, Sara and Todd,
I am so sorry. The following message, adored by Elroy Hirsch, had given me comfort in times like these.
"When I die, if you need to weep
Cry for your brother or sister
walking the street beside you
And when you need me, put
your arms around anyone and
give them what you need to give me.
Look for me in the people I've
known or loved
And if you cannot give me
away
At least let me live in your
eyes and not your mind."
