I’m so sorry not to be with you today Jane. You are in my thoughts and prayers. I’m sure your mother was ready. She has been a strong and brave woman, and certainly raised a daughter who is her equal.
Karen Losing says
I am so sorry for your loss of Mary. She was my neighbor for a few years on Merriam Street. She was going to take me riding out at your ranch, but we never quite got to that. I’m sure sorry for that, as I know she was quite a hand and could have taught me a lesson or two. Please know that you’re in my thoughts and prayers at this most difficult time.
