    To Phyllis, Sherry, Carthel and Darrell. I was sad to here of
    Ms. Zola’s passing, Carthel had told me she had some more health problems recently. It has seemed very strange these last few years, for I have had the chance to get to know Carthel – for he visits some of our residents every week. Sherry do you remember when we were all young and we were at each others houses constantly. Your mother was always so great and loving and made me feel like part of the family. I will never forget those days. I send my love and prays for all of you during this time.

    “Although it’s difficult today to see beyond the sorrow,
    May looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow.”

    Love always
    Donna and Mary Arwood
