To the whole family I am sending you the most sincere of thoughts for the loss of a lady that I got to know in the 23 years we have lived next to Kris and Camille. I am happy that she got to live such a long happy life with so many great people in her life. I hope for peace for her and I hope you all know she was well loved.
