    Dear Kim and Family,

    I want to send my sympathies to you and your family. My Mom was Eleanor Pelgrin and she was in Carmel Gardens West. My sister and I used to attend the monthly meetings with you. We lost our Mom this past December. We know they are in a better place but it’s still a huge loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
