"Jim and family, it was my pleasure to be the Hospice volunteer for your mom. I enjoyed visiting with her so much. She had so many good things to say about her family. I went to visit her Monday but she was sleeping deeply--and I was never able to see her again. All of you have my thoughts and prayers."
