Lilah, Linda, Helen and Danny I know this has hit you all very hard. She thought the world of all of you and every time I called her she spoke of you and told me all the latest news and happenings with her family. She also spoke so highly of Jason. I am so sorry for your loss. You have all kept her safe and have taken care of her when she needed your help. You all made it possible for her to live on her own these past few years. Thank you all so very much. With Our Love Connie and Jerry
