Jason,
I am so sorry for your loss. I remember your Mom from years ago when you and Geoff went to Gail's house. She wrote the nicest note last year when we lost our Geoff. I saw her accident on the news but had no idea who it was at the time. I hope in time that your memories will keep her spirit alive in your heart.
My condolences to you and your family.

Peggy,
I always enjoyed seeing your sister and you together at the gym. When I heard what happened, my heart broke. She, like you, always made me feel so welcome. My deepest sympathy to you, and everyone who was lucky enough to have known her.

My memories of Patty go back many years when she worked at the Lacy, Katzen law firm. She gave me a beautiful wall hugging vase for my birthday one year and it still hangs on my wall. My condolences to the family.

Patty,
I hope your spirit can read this message. We only met the day you died. I can still remember your smiling face as we shook hands - comrads in our love of animals. I am so sorry we didn't know you were in trouble with your horse and get to you sooner. Patty, your death will not have been in vain. I promise to promote safe riding, use of helmets and watching out for each other where ever and whenever I can.
To Patty's family and fiance' - I am sorry for your loss. I wish there had been more we could have done to have kept Patty alive. I will always remember her smiling face.
