Dear Pat, I'm sorry that your mother has passed away. I haven't seen either of you in many years, but have fond memories of the time we spent playing in Miss Regalbuto's orchestra with our mothers in tow.

Dear Pat,
We were saddened to learn of your mother's passing. I enjoyed mowing her lawn and doing many little chores for her. I had a lot of deep conversations with her about the world's state of affairs. My mom (Mary) and I miss having her for a neighbor. We will always cherish our memories of her.

Sincerely,
Mary Smith & Tom Smith
