Dear Pam,
I am so sorry your mother is no longer in your home soaking up all of the tender loving care you, Mark, and her visiting grandchildren provided her with. I will miss her sweet smile and timely remarks. The care you all gave was amazing and I know pleasing to our Lord. You have made these past years of her life so enjoyable. My deepest sympathy for your loss and my deep admiration for the selfless care and advocacy you and Mark provided for her. I'm blessed to call you family.
