Dear Maureen & Evelyn,
I am so sorry for the loss of your mother. I feel like I have lost part of my family after all of the stories Maureen and I have shared and the laughs that we have had about your mother over the years. I have never had the honor of meeting your mother but I feel like I know her. I know one thing from listening to Maureen and that is that she loved her daughters, son and grandchildren very much. She was a wonderful person and I know all of you have many wonderful memories. It's these memories that will make the next few days a bit easier if that is possible and may you all always remember how very much she loved you. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.
Jamie & Bill
