Dear Maria,
I have known you for over 24 years and know how special and devoted you were to both your parents. I know that your mother needed so much to be closer to your dad and had to now go and be with him. She was a sweet, giving and kind soul and I know you will miss her terribly. So will I. She is now with your father and that gives her great peace I am sure. Please express my sincere condolences to your family. You were such a wonderful daughter to her and she is, I'm sure, very proud of you.
With Love,
Elizabeth
