    Dear Bob and Sherri and family of Kay, I was so very saddened to see the passing of your Mom. Both your Mom and Dad were wonderful people and anyone who knew them were blessed. I'll always remember your Dad bringing in trays of tomato plants into the hospital lobby. He would tell me who to contact in the hospital to receive his gift. He always had the biggest smile on his face, he was in his happy place. In time I became friends with your Mom, Kay. One time she brought in the family photo and shared it with me at the front door of the hospital. They will be missed...but just know you will meet them again in Heaven. So, find happiness in your memory's and know they are not gone. You will meet again on the other side, just believe and trust in Jesus! Jan Bittner Former Greeter at Jefferson Hospital Transporter in the ER...saw you both recently!
