Dear Kathy,
We are so sorry to hear about your mom. She was a wonderful woman who gave so much to you and your family. From the few times we had the chance to visit with her, we could tell how full of life and spirit she was.

It has been a very long, difficult time for your family, but more so for you since you were her primary caregiver. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.
Wishing you & your family comfort and serenity.

Sorry for your loss. I still remember fondly running down the alley to your house at the age of 7 or 8, and having cookies or PBJ sandwiches in the yard from your Mom. I'm sure my Mom and Dad and Bill are pulling out her chair at the card table for her.
We'll be thinking of your whole family and saying some special prayers.
