Dear Drew, Candy & Rodger,
Our sincerest sympathies on the loss of your mother. I have great memories of her, especially her hospitality and sense of humor. Of course the last time I saw her was at your fathers funeral, which doesn't seem like it was that long ago. Unfortunately, we are out of town this week and could not attend the funeral. Our prayers are with her and your family.
With warmest regards,
Mike Providence
