Condolences

Sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. Fond memories of our little chats we had when she was a resident at Birmingham. It is difficult to loose a parent at any age but you have no regrets in the wonderful care and compassion you gave your Mom. She certainly deserves angel wings if anyone did. Treasure the precious memories that you will carry always. In sympathy, Linda Sinclair

To the family of Grace Wilson - sorry to hear of Grace's passing. The three of us, Wendell and Evelyn Thompson, and Dorothy Thompson enjoyed a lovely day with Grace at her retirement residence in November of 2015. She was a very special person, and we hope that your memories of good times will bring you comfort at this time. Just in case you don \\'t recognize our names Wendell and Dorothy are both children of Annie Cook Thompson; Evelyn is Wendell's wife. There was talk that day about the fact that Grace was one of only two people still alive who had attended Annie and Ralph Thompson's wedding in July of 1936. Carl Cook is the other person still alive who attended their wedding and he was just a baby so would have no recollection of the day. Our thoughts are with you. Dorothy, Wendell and Evelyn
