Dear Jim and Family,
I'm sorry to hear about the sudden loss of your Mom. Although I did not know her, I quickly saw how special she was to you and how dedicated you were to her. I am sure she will be sadly missed by you for a very long time. Memories can be a wonderful thing to smile about, and I am sure you have many wonderful ones of her to dwell upon.
Sincerely,
Lynda

I am sorry to hear of the passing of Ruth. We became friends when I moved into the building. It was nice knowing someone was looking out for me. If she saw my car home during the week, she would come and check on me. I will miss her.
