Sara and Tom,
I was saddened to hear of Maxine's passing. I know that these last few years have been difficult for all, but I suspect she is even now with Dr. Mattill planning a spectacular heavenly holiday party! Love to you all. Take some time for yourselves during the holidays.
Julie

Dearest Sara, I know you had a rough weekend and did not want to bother you but I wanted you to know that I have been thinking about you. I am so very sorry for your loss. I thought your mom was such a neat lady and I loved the visit I had with her and you at Woodlands some time ago. Rocky will be visiting you for both of us. Dee George
