Dear Kathy,

I was so sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. If i had heard in time, I would have come to the wake. I don't know if you remember meeting me with my Mom, Joan Snell, and my Aunt Lol. My Mom and Dad, Bob Snell, were very fond of your mother and your grandmother. I have lost both of my parents and have nothing but the greatest sympathy for you and your family.
