Barbara, Becky, and Diana: Thinking of you at this sad time. So sorry to hear of your mother’s passing. I know you will miss her so much. I have not seen her in so long. Sad that life goes by so fast and we are so busy that we fail to connect with old friends.

Diana & Family, My deepest sympathy on the passing of your mother. I will miss seeing her at the nursing home. She was always very pleasant. She was so good to my mother, always looking out for her, she could not have had a better room mate. Please know my thoughts & prayers are with all of you. God bless you!

My thoughts and prayers are with Betty’s family, especially her daughters. I have many fond memories of Betty as a co-worker at Illinois EPA. Like many others, she somehow kept my thoughts focused on the job we had to do!

I’m so sorry Becky! I enjoyed your Mom for the short time I took care if her. She was so sweet but a pistol too! May she now rest in peace. My sympathy to you and your family.
