Anna, Ida, Eddie, Joanne,
So sorry for the loss of your mother. Millie was a good wife to my brother, Jim. Times were tough when they married, but they managed to survive. As a teenager, anything I asked of her and my brother was given to me. I was a lucky guy to have them in my life.

Our thoughts and prayers are with your family.

The comfort in this is the fact that we all know your mom is with all of your other loved ones, and will help to guide you along.
