Dear Donna & Family,

Peace and blessings upon your mother and all of you.... Mrs Bowles was a perceptive, beautiful, lucky, honest and funny woman. Donna, it was just the other day that I was telling you that I met a woman that reminded me of your mother - and then I had that peaceful and happy dream about your mom asking me about my nephew and what his name was...

We are so sorry we didn't make it to your mother's ceremony. My heart aches and I wish you all strength, please let us know if there's anything we can do.

My family sends their condolences and prayers for your mother and family.

Hope to be able to see you this weekend.

Love you always xox

Dear Jack and family,

We are so sorry to hear of Cathy's passing. When we moved in 6 years ago Cathy adopted our daughter, Sydney, as her own. It seemed as each holiday passed Cathy would show up at our house with some kind of special treat for Sydney. Sydney, Mark, and I will miss her very much.

Much love,

The Seavey Family
