Dear Peter,
I am so very sorry for the loss of your mother. I'm sure you have many wonderful memories. Had I had the honor of meeting her, I would have told her what a fine man and great professional you are. I'm sure she knew, and was proud. I'm sending a prayer for you to find the comfort and peace that will eventually come. Please treat yourself gently, and be well.
I'm glad we worked together.
With sympathy,
