Eve, so sorry to hear about your Mom. It's so true what Dad said, She always wanted to do for everyone else. I have only good memories of her and I hope in time you will remember the good times and not the recent times. She is finally at peace. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. Love you, Loretta, Peter and the boys.
Dear Tom,
I was not able to convey my feelings this afternoon while we were at lunch after mom's burial. I appreciated reciving those accolades, but I wanted everyone to know how much you have supported me in caring for my mom. You gave me the courage to face each new day and were always there to give me encouragement and strength. If it were not for your love, patience, and caring, I would have not been able to meet this challenge. You are my rock!
Love always,
Evelyn
To Our Family & Friends:
Thank you for your kind words and support during this most difficult time. Your thoughts and prayers are deeply appreciated.
We know that mom and her sister walked hand in hand to face their Maker and meet up with their family. We are sure they are cooking up a storm.
Fondly,
Evelyn, Teresa and family
