Condolences
Ellen Enders	Kathy, Nancy and Bill; I cannot find the words to express my sorrow over your Mother's death. I loved her like a second mother and will miss her terribly. Your mother didn't live long enough but I am most grateful that she did not suffer; not suffering was a blessing for everyone. Please know that I wish so much I could be there! All of you are in my thoughts, my heart, and my prayers, as your Mother will always be in my heart. I love you all and extend my deepest sympathy. Though this week will seem like a dream and a whirlwind, when every thing settles down I hope peace will gradually come to each of you. May you all have the energy to do all you will have to do over the coming months. Enjoy, yes, enjoy, being all together now - remembering and swapping stories. When my father died, your Mother sent me a plant with a hand written note. I quote .."We are never ready to let our love ones go..." Your Dad and your Mother are together again. Love and big hugs, Ellen
