I will keep your memory with me
For memories never die,
You will be there with me
when I look across the sky.
If I could relive yesterday
just even for a while,
I’d say good-bye and kiss you,
And maybe see you smile.
I am so glad that I got to see Meme on Thanksgiving. Thank you all for being so nice to me and the boy’s. I love you all, and if there is anything I can do , please let me know. Sincerly, Jamie

Dear Wilkie Family,
I was saddened to read about Evelyn’s passing.
I have always been grateful to her ever since she took me under her wing when I started working summers at the rest home. She was very loving and compassionate to the residents.
