Dear Scott, Glenn and Jason,
I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your Mother. She was a wonderful woman, and I have such fond memories of her. I loved her scottish brog, and I still have her recipe for her shortbread (which was the best!!). I remember the times spent at your home all those years ago. I used to enjoy too, picking her up for weekly meetings and spending time with her. I will always smile when I think of her. I am keeping you and your families in my thoughts, especially during this difficult time and hope that these words bring some comfort. Christa
