I am so sorry for your loss. A couple of weeks ago I saw putting her in the car I'm assuming to go to a doctors appointment or appointment of another. You were so caring walking her to the car, made sure her seatbelt was on, and then closed the door for her. If there is anything we can do for you or your children please let us know.
