Dear Karen and family,
I just wanted to let you all know that I really enjoyed being able to spend time with Ms. Grayson while she was getting support from the Council on Aging. She was quite a pistol and I really had a good time chatting with her during my visits out there. Peace to each of you in this time of loss.
