Dear Ron and Nancy,

I am so sorry for your loss. I knew Orda for many years, having met her while we both worked at Centralab. She was one of the kindest, most thoughtful people I have ever known and one of the hardest workers I ever met. I considered her one of my dearest friends. She was just a very beautiful person in so many ways. I know that she loved her son more than anything. I am sure she is in Heaven now with John. She is probably up there teaching the angels how to clean the streets of gold. Just a bit of humor as I recall how she was such a particular person about cleaning.

May God Bless you and give you peace and comfort in your time of loss.

So sorry for your loss! My husband & I saw Orda often when she worked at MCL. What a sweet and hard working woman she was. I hope that these last few years have not been real hard on her or you. I know she enjoyed being active and enjoyed life, so being done with the nursing home is probably making her happy. May she rest in peace. Sincerely.

Dear Family Members,

Although I never new your Mother on a personal level, I used to frequent MCL on a somewhat regular basis. Your Mother always greeted me with the biggest smile I&ve ever seen and a kind and giving heart. I know from experience it hurts deeply when you lose a parent, but rest assured she is in heaven smiling down on everyone at this very moment. May God bless you and keep you.

Sincerely,

Gail L. Jackson
