Gary and Family,
It was such an honor to be able to work with your mother at Edgewater. She had a wonderful personality and brought a little bit of spunk to everyone's day. I am so touched that we were able to have her here twice. Please let us know if there's anything more we can do during this difficult time and also know that we are all thinking of Helen and your family today and always.
All the best,
Tiffany Cochran
