Dear Ron, Mike & Heather,
My heart is deeply saddened to hear of your Mother's passing. I just talked with her at Christmastime and had a card ready to send for her birthday!
We enjoyed time visiting when we could - having a cup of tea, of course, and lively conversation! I loved her dearly, am grateful that she did not suffer long and will miss her immensely!
May the soul of my ex-future mother-in-law rest in peace... Amen.
Love & hugs to you and yours!!
