Dear William, Michael, Mary Lee, Eddie and Family: Doug and I were so sad to hear of your mom’s passing. What a long and wonderful life she had. I remember her very well from her days working at the hospital when I was at Social Services and she used to call about Medicaid clients. It got so I knew her voice right away. She was a fine lady and I am sure she will be missed. Doug is under the weather so we are not able to come to the visitation but our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this sad time. I know you have some wonderful memories to sustain you.
