Dear Mona andCarolyn, I am so sorry. I read of your brothers passing in the paper and I wanted to tell you that you are in my thoughts and prayers during this terribly sad time. Although your hearts are very heavy today I know that they will soon fill with wonderful memories of all the special times you shared with him.
