    I was sorry to learn of your mother's death. I visited her after church on October 28th and thought that she looked better and was more alert. Bruton Eucharistic Visitor

    John and Lisa, I wanted to take this opportunity ti say how sorry I was to hear about your Mom. I knew she was a special person from the first time I meant her. I am so glad I got to know her for even a short time. Please know I will keep you in my prayers during this very difficult time. Always, Linda Looman, former Executive Clinical Specialist, WindsorMeade

    Lisa and John- I am thinking of you both during this difficult time. I so enjoyed getting to know your mother during her time in the Villa community and was so appreciative of sharing in the journey with her during the last year. She was a very special lady who loved you both!

    May the promise of the resurrection Jesus Christ made at John 5: 28 and 29, and repeated by the Apostle Paul at Acts 24: 15, be a source of comfort to you during this sad time. Take comfort in the promise of a time where there will be no more pain and sorrow, recorded at Revelation 21: 3 and 4.
