Please accept our most heartfelt sympathy for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. We fondly remember the wonderful times we shared in BurgessWood.

Hi Janet:

I'm sorry to hear about your Mother's passing. Paul told me this morning. Having been through this for both my parents, I know how you are feeling and what you are going through. Suffice it to say, I am keeping you, and your family, in my thoughts and prayers this week. I'm always available to chat if you feel the need to have someone to "bounce stuff off".

I would like to extend my deepest sympathy to you and your family.

Dear Cathy,

My sincere sympathy to you in your loss. Your love for your Mom was evident during our conversations a couple of weeks ago and I know that you were concerned for her health based on her own prediction. Having seen her picture, her likeness survives her in you. My heart goes out to you and your family during this tender time of grief. May you relish the good times in her memory!
