Jon & Ticia,

I am so sorry to read of your Mother's passing. She was always so very nice to me especially when Tommy died. She wrote me the sweetest sympathy note and I have never forgotten her most kind words:

"May God find a way to ease your pain. We loved him also."

And so, I am returning her literary hug to you:

May God find a way to ease your pain. I loved her also!

Jane
