Sorry to hear about your mom.
It’s hard to believe that Aunt Darlene, my mom Carol and your mom are all gone in a little over a year. Unfortunately I can’t make the service; I have to work.
terry So sorry to see that Gen passed away. We are keeping you in our thoughts and prayers.
I have very fond memories of working at Wendy Oaks, my first job. I am sorry to hear about your Mom.

So sorry to learn of Gen’s death. So many times i think of her and remember how hard we all worked together at the Pines in Manchester. Those sure are good memories with Jack and Gen. She will always be remembered and there will always be a special Place in my heart for Gen
