Dear Betty Jo and Leon,

My mother and I are very saddened to hear of the passing of your mother. She was a special person and friend to my mother for many years. I know that mother will miss her very much. She always looked forward to the holiday and special occasion cards your mother sent. She always remembered her. You and your family will be in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Betty Jo and Leon,

I was so sorry to hear about the loss of your Mother. I have fond memories of her and especially her creativity around Birthdays and other Holidays. She was a wonderful person who never missed an opportunity to help out another person. She will be missed. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.
