We four children are very blessed to have had the most wonderful parents in the world (in our opinions), and we will miss them terribly but feel so fortunate to have had them in our lives as long as we did.
Thank you to our friends and family who have supported us, prayed for us, sent cards, texts, phone calls, visits and brought food!!
Thanks to these dear friends who helped enriched our parents' lives over the past few years. Your acts of kindness are greatly appreciated:
