Dear Dian and Gerry;
I would like to send my deepest sympathy to both of you. I always say I’m not going to say I know how you feel, but I do understand. My mom Passed away nine years ago from the same thing as your mother. She was sick, we took her to the doctor. They said it was the arteries in her neck. They were going to do surgery and she would be fine. It turned out to be a brain tumor. All of this happened in less than 3 weeks. My feelings with this finally were, it was better for her, but not for me. My thoughts ,prayers and heart go out to you at this time. If there is anything I can do please feel free to let Walt or I know.
Sincerely
Kathie

Dear Dian and Gerry,
I am so sorry to hear about your mom and even though you deal with death every day, when it is one of your own, it is very difficult. She was an awesome lady and I loved having her and your dad as my neighbors all those years. Remember all of the fun, wonderful times with her… they will make you smile. My love and prayers are with you and your family.

Flown away on borrowed wings,
This soul finds the song she sings,
Leaping above the clouds and sky,
Sailing the winds with angels on high
Avoiding the jaws of a sullen Life,
Soaring to freedom, less the strife,
“Embrace the calm within” she whispers,
I’ve lived my life on wings of a dove
And forever remember that you are held so tightly in eternal love.
We are so sorry for your loss. You and your family have our condolences…
take care,
Tina, James, Aaron, Jeremy and Jana Thundar(friend of Annettes)
