Dear Cousins,
Your mother was a sweet and loving lady. She was a wonderful sister to Vic, she was kind to Claire, and any time that I saw her, she made me feel loved and welcome. I know that losing someone so special is difficult, but I also feel that she remains close to each of you. Now, she is the new angel on your each of your shoulders.
Harvey and I feel badly that we were not able to be there in your time of loss. Please know that you are all in our thoughts and prayers.
