Dear Kathy and Family,
I was saddened to read of your mother's passing. Kathy, it was so obvious from speaking with you what a big part of your life she was, and how proud you were of her recent recovery and tenacity this past year... I'm sure your gentle care and constant attention was a big comfort to both her and your Dad. I will have you in my thoughts during this difficult time. Take care, Liz (Adult Ed.)

Dear Kathy and Family: Barbara and I were truly saddened to hear of your loss. As you know, I worked for a few years with her and Barb grew up knowing your family. Barb was touched that your mom took the time to attend her father, Walter Mac's, funeral a few years ago. Barbara lost her own mother last June and we are still grieving over our loss. We know it may sound trite, but time does help to heal grief. She will be in our prayers. Roger Lamothe and Barbara MacInnis
