Condolences
Add Your OwnDear family,
I wish I had words to say how sorry I am for your loss. Mr. and Mrs. Lupkes were very special to me. Mrs. Lupkes especially, as she has been with me my entire career. All of us were devastated to hear of her passing.
Miss Gloria made each of us smile and always had such a positive outlook. I loved to see what she was crocheting next- she was always working on something! Never let a minute go to waste :) It was a privilege to be her provider- we miss them both.
Please let us know if we can be of help at this time.
