Dear Peter, Chris, Gregory, Duncan and Jeffrey:

Please accept my condolences for the profound loss of your very special mother's life. She will always remain a major figure throughout my childhood and adult life, someone whose smile, ready wit and warmth were always evident to all who entered her home. A loving mother and devoted wife, she was so very proud of her family. I have always looked forward to the annual Christmas card and her growing brood. Your mother, father and your entire family, are in our thoughts and prayers.

Love, Susie Dowd (Stone)
