Dear Gary, Darlene and Denise,

I was so sorry to hear of your mom's passing. She was wonderful woman and I have a lot of fond memories growing up next door to you on Saratoga Drive.

Dear Gary, Darlene, and Denise;
Your family was always dear to ours so I was saddened to hear about the passing of your mom. She was a wonderful person and will remain in my heart forever.
I recently came across one of her recipe's in my mom's old recipe box, which reminded me of the good old days with her and my mom talking in the kitchen as they made a batch of glumpki.
You are in my thoughts and prayers during this time of mourning.
Truly yours,
Chris Haaser
