"To the daughters of Udell: I would like to send my dearest sympathy to your family. I don''''t know if you remember me but I worked part-time evenings at Prairie Meadows a couple years back. Your mother was a beautiful lady. Having lost my mother at a young age, the ladies at Prairie Meadows meant so much to me. I truly enjoyed taking care of your mother. She was loving, fun, witty, and full of spunk. She kept us on are toes. She will not be forgotten. Again, my deepest sympathy for your loss. Tammy"
