Dear Diana
The news of your mother’s passing came with such sadness. I felt blessed to know her and to spend many Tuesday mornings with her and Myrtle and Dennis at Memorial Hospital’s volunteer desk. She was a wonderful lady who enriched my life. I know she will be missed greatly. My deepest sympathy to you and may you find comfort in the loving, unselfish care you gave your mother.
