Dot, My most sincere sympathy in your dear mother’s passing. The care you showed her while she was in Brookdale was an inspiration to me and many others who witnessed the love and friendship you had with Lucille. You both were truly blessed to have each other. I pray you find comfort knowing she is at peace now.

Debbie, Nancy, and Dot, My deepest sympathy to you and your families with the loss of your mother. Your Mom was a very kind and generous person and I think of those years that we spent as your next door neighbors very often. I am with Matthew and his family this weekend and won’t be able to make the service, but please know that we will be thinking of your Mom and praying that she is at peace now. God
Bless You all.
