Sally,

Please know my heartfelt sympathy is with you and your sister and your families.

Had you not introduced yourself and spoke so highly of my own mom, Joan Crego, I'd not have known that you were Della's daughter.

How blessed she was to have you and your sister, Mary Lou, to be there for her.

There's something about mothers and daughters, isn't there?
