Tom,

My condolences for your loss. Actually, a loss for all of us. I always enjoyed seeing your mom. She always had some story or opinion that would always make me laugh. Though she's in a better place now, it unfortunately won't prevent us from missing her. Hope you and your family are doing better.

Ron and I have felt you and Richards pain in the loss of your mom. She was such a lovely and good person. We had a lot of good laughs and good times when we were with her. She will be deeply missed with all the get togethers with family.

Love,
