I regret I was unable to call or attend the memorial service to express my feelings to you. As you know you were blessed to have a wonderful mother. Sincerely hope she had not had to suffer. Dean and I always enjoyed when we crossed paths with her. Of course there were always jokes when your Dad was there. It was great they could share the joy of dancing. I know that having been blessed with a good marriage helped her these past few years. May your memories bring you comfort and peace.

Dear Sue,

Wanted to send you a whisper of encouragement as you go through this time of loss. When we lunched shortly after Leah&s arrival, you mentioned your mother was doing pretty well, so was surprised to see news of her death in the paper this morning. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you.

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
