Our deepest sympathies go out to you and your family, Sheri. May God give you the comfort and peace that you seek during these difficult days.
I’m sorry for your loss. Your family has been in my thoughts and prayers.
Our family’s thoughts and prayers are with Carmie and her faimly.

Pam and Sheri — we are thinking of you again today and our prayers continue to be with you and your families. It has been amazing to see your deep and loving care for your mom through this difficult time. She must have known beyond any doubt how much she was loved by you!
Many years ago at Christmas time I purchased the cookbook “The Sampler” at a farm somewhere in Illinois or Wisconsin. I’ve made all the recipes and I’m holding it together it a plastic bag. Love it!
Is it possible to let me know where that farm is, I’d like to go back, just for the memories. It had a beautiful fireplace in the farmhouse, smelled like cinnamon, we had a piece of apple pie and talk about it all the time. We just can’t remember where it is.
Thanks so much for any info. God bless her. She’s affected my life!
