Elaine and Family: We were very sorry to hear of your mom's passing. We have good memories of both your mom and dad as they did our taxes for many years. Your mom used to tell us stories about you kids when you were little. She will be missed by all that knew her. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time of sorrow.

Carol, I’m so sorry for your loss of Ginny. It was so apparent the two of you sisters were close and it has to be so hard for you to lose her. I know she did so much for the seniors at HMC, things that are continuing because of her. My condolences to you and all your family.
