Dear Danielle: I am sorry to hear of your Grandma’s passing. Thoughts and Prayers to you and your Family during this difficult time. Rena and Joey
Dan, seeing your mom’s obit raised a lot of good memories of our years growing up. She always had such a sweet smile on her face for all of us “kids on the block”. Many years ago I was in the hospital for surgery and she was one of the aides, we had some nice chats. My prayers are with you and your whole family for the loss of a terrific woman….Kathy (Kraina) Fodor, Palm Harbor, FL

I am so sorry to hear of your mother’s passing . I worked with Helen at Wmc and let me tell you she was one terrific nurses aide. She will be deeply missed by all whom had the pleasure of knowing her. God bless you all!
Loved Helen. She and Jack and my mom and dad were great friends. She will be missed
I am very sorry to read of your family’s loss. I hope you all will find comfort as I have in this wonderful promise from our Heavenly Father–Revelation 21:3,4.
I am so sorry to hear of Helen’s passing. I worked with her for years at WMC, she was a great nurses aide. I will keep the family in my prayers.
Dear Foley Family,
A loved one lost can grieve the heart, and make us yearn for tomorrow, when the GOD of comfort will keep the promise he
made of no pain, no death, no sorrow. So sorry for your loss.
