Kathy,

I wanted to send my condolences to you and your family. It's been many years since we were neighbors living on 13th East, but I remember your mom as being very loving and I always felt welcome in your home. My mother passed away almost ten years ago so I understand the deep loss you must be feeling. My prayers are with you at this time.
