Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
I am so very sorry for your loss of Helen. I would like to thank Kathy for giving me the opportunity to get to know her mom these past few years. I didn\’t just work for her, she got to be a really good friend. Together we laughed, we cried (I took her to the vet to have Scottie put to sleep, then two weeks later I had to have my own cat put to sleep) and we shared, which included a cup of coffee. She was always an informative, fun, upbeat lady who I\’ll never forget. She has a wonderful family who I know will miss her more than me. She thought the world of all of you! Please know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers.
