Dear Greg and David,

I was so saddened to hear of the loss of you mother. She was such a beautiful person and a lovely woman. I will always remember her with fond memories and mostly how very special she was to my mother.

You both are in my thoughts and prayers and you now have your own "Guardian Angel" to watch over you both.
