My sincere condolences to all of you! I so enjoyed your mom when she came into Golden Acres and the few visits I had to her house. She was such a strong woman, opinionated but in a good way, and always a pleasure to chat with!
She will be missed, my thoughts are with you!

So sorry to hear of the loss of your mother, Don. As you and your family grieve her loss, may you all be enriched by her memory and the heritage of life and love she created. Our thoughts are with you.
I’m sorry to hear about you’re grandmother Riley. I will always remember visiting her after I dropped my kids at school & how she used to make me raspberry crystal light. My thoughts & prayers are with you & you’re family.
