Dearest Anne, John and Chad,
I was so sorry to learn of your Mother's death. She was always so kind and gracious whenever I popped in to see her and your Dad, over the last 40 years. I keep you all in my prayers and thoughts , but especially during this difficult time. Please know that when I think of both of your parents, I will remember both of their smiles and the stories they loved to tell about you all.
God Bless you and my love,
