Thoughts and prayers are with you Susan and Sandy and your families. Helen and Jerry both were such good and long time friends of Mom and Dad and Helen will be missed. She always had that wonderful positive attitude and contagious laugh. Mom isn’t up to coming today but she is there in thought. Thanks Sue for bringing Helen to see Mom at the Okemos Rehab Center. So grateful for the visit.
