Brenda, Gary and all -
Wanted you to know that I still had the love for your mom that I always have. She was good to me and treated me like I was one of her own children. I loved her so much and though I didn't get to see her, I will miss her. I won't be able to see you all this weekend but please know I am thinking of you.
