Roger, I am so very very sorry to hear of the loss of your dear Betty. I have been praying for the both of you since April told me that she had gone to the hospital and then to hospice. The tender love you had for her was very evident and I always found great strength, understanding, and compassion whenever we would chat at meal time. You have been such an inspiration to me and I know how much the residents miss your helpfulness and gentleness. I will continue to pray that God grant you, now His strength, compassion and understanfing as you continue your journey here on earth. His Peace and Love, Karen (Annie’s daughter)
