Bill, Kent, Peggy, and the rest of the family, I am very sorry for the loss of Mary Lou. She was and will always be remembered as a very special lady with a spark that couldn’t be found in just anyone. I am grateful that her suffering is over and she is in a truly beautiful place today. I commend your family for the remarkable job you did as caregivers for her and I believe your actions made a huge difference in not only her life but also the lives of others you touched in the process. My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. Regards, Joe Bordewick
