    We arranged flowers yesterday for this evening; they should be delivered before 6PM. Tara will arrange a gift donation for SarahCare later this afternoon.
    Wish we could be there for you; however, our prayers, hopes, and dreams for everyone’s future are; blessings and peace to all…

    PS: SarahCare gave Tara very nice comments about how sweet and lovely Aunt Joyce was, along with how excited she was, looking forward to her trip to Virginia, and how much she will be missed at SarahCare.

    Love, -Bill, Tara, and our all family
