Dear Kenny and family and Mike, It was such an honor helping you take care of your special Mother. In my short time there at her home last week I learned a lot about her, mostly that she loved her family so very much. She truly appreciated each of you. You made her very happy. ~Rest in Love and Peace ,Miss Lo~
