James, We will miss your mother, such a sweet woman. Our thoughts are with you in our hearts, and our mind.
Although we did not see Paula as often as we would have liked, we miss her memory, and sweet personality. Nonetheless; no one could miss her more than you.
You have been an absolutely wonderful son; the example you set, with the care and love that you devoted to your parents, is extraordinary. Love and devotion of this magnitude is so rare in our lives, but truly wonderful to see.
You are a awesome person James. Please know that Paula is missed and loved, as are you.
Peace be with you, with Paula, and your family.
Tom and Laura Varley XOXO
