To Lisa, I know how completely you and Dave devoted yourselves to caring for your mom over these last several years. You gave her an extraordinary gift through your love, patience and constant presence. I hope, in time, you will find some comfort in knowing how much your care meant to her. She was so lucky to have you as her daughter and caretaker.
Such sad news about a wonderful person. She was my secretary at The American Legion when I was Commander, and I was fortunate that she hadn't retired yet. Thoughtful, kind, and dedicated. Brenda and I send our condolences to her daughter Lisa and family.
