Dear Beth Ann and Dale, It was my pleasure to know your mother for the last three years, while she was a resident in Memorial Hospital LTCF. Through her ,you both became my friends, for which I am grateful. I was able to visit her mostly on a weekly basis. She and I became rather close. Close enough to call each other good friends. Each time I visited , we would always have prayer together, and she would be sure that I always included you both in those prayers. We shared many things about ourselves and our families. I came to see the very kind hearted and generous person your mother was. Despite her ill health, and bouts with pain, she always had concern for other's welfare, and yes, the welfare of animals, too, which she loved. There is so much more I could share, but I will let this suffice. I will miss her and our visits together. I went to her room after she had gone, and felt a hollow spot in my spirit. I am sure you feel the same. You were a faithful daughter and son-in-law. May God bless you both, richly, and give you His peace and grace in your loss. Love and Blessings, Richard+
