Dear Eric and David:
We were saddened to hear about your Mom. We were also shocked since we had visited her and took some of our garden tomatoes only few days prior and she looked so good and looking forward to driving in the near future. She spoke proudly of her grandchildren.
Unfortunately, due to conflicts we will be unable to get to Penn Yan but our thoughts and prayers are with you and all the family.
Your Mom will be greatly missed.

Sincerely,

Don and Fran Cain
