Berna: To you and your family, I send very sincere sympathy on the passing of your Mother. I hope she gives all of you great comfort in the time ahead, as she gave great family love. May she find much peace and joy with God now.

Dear Laura and family:

I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your mother. She was a beautiful, inspirational person and was truly a gift (as you know)! My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Laura, I am so glad Mary got the opportunity to see you graduate from BC and that you had the chance to go to Nantucket and enjoy that time with her.

Again, so sorry.

Sincerely,
Diane Donahoe
