Dear Leipzig Family,

I am saddened to read of the recent loss of your mother and extend my condolences to all of you.

I remember her baking the most wonderful treats for us when you lived on Emerson and how very sweet she was to everyone.
You were all blessed to have such a loving mother. I´m sure she was very proud of all of you.
