Dear Alison,
I am so sorry to hear about your mom. I am at a loss for words to confort you during this hard time. I didn't know your mom but knowing you through Kerrie, your mom must have been a wonderful lady. You have always been such a dear and good friend to Kerrie. Your mom taught you well. She taught you how to be gentle in spirit and generous in heart, how to truly be a good friend. I know she must have been very proud of you. I pray that in time you see God blessings in your life and your heart brightens again with joy as you remember the many moments you had together.
Love you,
Mary Cyrus

Dear Alison and Andrea, I was so sad to hear of your mom's passing. I will miss seeing her warm and sweet smile. From the first time I met her back in 1991, it was obvious what a special and kind-hearted person she was. Thoughts and prayers to you both. Love, Kerrie
