To all at Lakeshore Manor: Having you with us on this Journey has been a true blessing. Your love, care, dignity, and compassion meant the world to us. A very heart felt thank you.
In life we love and lose. We hope our joys are many; our sorrows few. The pain of letting go of a love runs deep. But I know I would rather suffer the sorrow of losing a love than never having loved. So for all who have gone before me, please come and guide my mother home. In your loving embrace, I know she will be safe. Let her know I loved her so. But now it is time to go, forever in our hearts.
Remembrance loves greatest gifts.
