Dear Janet, Kathy and Lauri, I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your mother. She was such a special person. I enjoyed so much going to Texas with Lauri to visit your mother. She made me feel a part of the family. Please know that you all are in my prayers. Love, Sarah (Morton) LaPlaca
I love all of you very much and I know your mum would be so proud of the peace you gave in her last days. Never will she have enjoyed a more joyous Christmas celebration than to be in Heaven. Take good care of yourselves. I can just hear her now…"Melba, I think now is the time; what do you think? Yes, indeed."

I know how hard it is to say goodbye to your mom. Hold on to your precious memories and she will always be in your heart. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.
