Dear Sue, Wren, and Mollie,
Living across the street from your family and especially your sweet Mother was the best thing that ever happened to me. Your mom was like a second mother to me after mine passed away the year we graduated from high school. My deepest sympathy to all of you from Tom and I.

Sue, Wren, and Mollie,
Although I did not know your mother well, I remember her coming to Mesita School and for me it was her laughter that characterized her. And, whether you see it that way or not, through high school, it was your mom's laugh and smile that I see. Warm and fond remembrances. In your loss I trust you each will find occasion to smile and laugh, too.
