Dear Anna Lee, Julie and Carolyn, I am so sorry that I could not attend the funeral. I have a terrible sinus infection and it is making me very sick. I am sure everything went fine and your parents would be proud of what you have done taking care of them. May God bless you though this time. Jo Ellen
