I would like to express my deepest sympathy to you and your family. Elaine, I don’t know if you remember me, but I was the old activity director at Parkwood Meadows. I have been so blessed to have known two such wonderful ladies that are part of your family, those being Laura and Alma. I was fortunate to have spent time with them before they returned to our Heavenly Father. I loved Alma very much as she brought so much joy to my life. You took such good care of her, she always had something new to show me, she would always talk about her family, and never had a bad word to say about anyone. My only regret is that I didn’t have a chance to tell her I loved her and how much joy she brought to my life. I will miss her dearly. If there is anything I can do for you, or if you just want to talk, please feel free to call me at 522-2929. Sincerely, Berniece Hansen
