Condolences to Barbara from Jeffrey Sipe (Laundry Dept. at Lancaster General Hospital)

At first I was saddened to find out that Aunt Mary has passed.  But then I realized that now she is happy and healthy in heaven.  She always had a lively spirit.  I hope that in heaven she gets to do everything that she was unable to do while she was here on earth. 
Lots of love to you, Aunt Mary.
