Dear Linda -

I was very sorry to hear of your mom's passing. I feel lucky to have known her. The word that comes to mind when I think of her is "regal." She was smart, beautiful, kind and generous. Please know that I am thinking of you and the entire family and hope that you are all doing well.

Dear Linda,

I was sorry to hear of your loss. Fortunetly you were able to go to Haiti and be home with your Mother in her last days. She seems like she was quite a remarkable woman.
