It was with great sorrow that I read of your mother's passing. I remember her fondly as den mother of our Cub Scout den, and as a good friend of my own mother. Your mom always projected intelligence, warmth, compassion, and dignity. The imprint she left on youngsters' lives, my own included, will live on through those of us she touched, and our future generations. Thank you for sharing your mom with us - we are all the richer for it! We share your feelings of loss at her passing, and will keep all of you in our prayers.
