Demeyer was my roommate at the rouse last year and she was a kind and caring woman. I enjoyed getting to know her. Sorry for your loss
I never met any of you because of covid. But I heard your video chats with her.
Am sorry to learn of you Mom’s passing. I did not know her well, but was always impressed with her warmth and kindness whenever Karen and I would meet her at the Rouse Suites while Karen was still a resident there. God bless.
We are so sorry for your loss and will keep all of you in our thoughts and prayers. Demeyer was a kind and gentle woman. She was a good friend to our uncle, which we will never forget. May she rest in peace.
