David and Judy
I want you to know how much I always enjoyed your mother's company. Her openness and honesty was such a pleasure.

David and Judy,
I am sorry to read of your mother's passing. I always found her to be a most gracious lady.
You can only feel that "God's finger touched her and she slept."
I send you, and all members of your family, my deepest sympathy.
