Nancy and family, there are no words to adequately express my sympathy in the loss of your Mom other than to say how sad I am but yet glad that she is finally at peace and wrapped in God's loving arms. I feel as though I knew her through the journey with you over the past years of her illness. While your Mom has left this world, she has moved on to her next life where you will be reunited with her one day. She will always lovingly watch over her family. Keep the cherished memories of her close to your heart and she will always be with you. My sincere condolences to Steve, your children, the grandchildren, your sister and family in Ohio. Please know that others care and you are in my thoughts and prayers. If there is anything at all that I can do to help ease your burden through this time of loss, please do not hesitate to let me know. Your friend at UHS, Vivian
