    JoEllen was a wonderful woman. She was not only my cousin, she was a friend and a co-worker. I worked with her for many years at the Belding Hospital.
    Thinking of you as you honor your Mother.
    You’ll never forget your mother’s face, the sound of her voice, the gentleness of her touch…they let you know you were loved.
    You’ll never forget the stories she told, the traditions she handed down…they let you know who you are.
    You’ll never forget the lessons she taught, the things she stood for…they are her gift and your legacy.
    You’ll never forget, and you’ll always know that you honor her every day in how you live and who you are.
    With Sympathy,
    Kathy Arnett-Kilduff
