Well it is hard to believe that the good lord took your mother/friend so soon. I can see her now just getting her hair done, grabbing my hand for a shake and her smile on her face. Saying hello. Or just seeing her at the table with her hot tea,milk and cransberry juice . She was a joy to have her in assisted living. She was from Story City where my father came from . So we connected. I will remember the words "UFF DA". You had a great mom and grandma. My prayer are with you . . chris oartwieg/cna/wesley parkcenter. assisted living.
