Dear Patrice and Michael,
We were so sad when your phone call came about your Mother. She was such a sweet lady and I will miss sitting on the porch in Mt.Gretna talking to her. I know you will miss her more than anyone Patrice and I can only pray that your grief will be brief but your memories will last forever. She is with your beloved Father in heaven waiting till the day you join them. You were such a loving daughter to her Patrice and Michael she couldn’t have asked for a better son-in-law.
Loving neighbors,
Jerry and Louise
