Dear Diane and family,

We both were sad to hear of the passing of your Mother. We know how very close you both were. She had a long fight with her illness but now she is with the Lord and free of all pain. Know it is hard for you now but God will give you comfort and take away your sorrow. You will have the good memories of good times together and she will always be in your heart. Know each of you are in my husband's and my prayers.

Dearest Diane and family -

I was so sorry to hear about your Mom's passing. She has certainly put up a good fight!

I know how close you were to her and how much you loved her. She will live in your heart forever and always still be with you. Never doubt that. She is in a place of good health and happiness now and will be your protective angel. She is reunited with her family and friends and having quite the homecoming, I'm sure.

Take care & please call if I can do anything to help you.

Love - Charmaine
