Dear Bonnie, Reggie, Kyle and Debbie,

I loved your Mom. She was always so kind to me whenever I was in your home, no matter how busy she was. I remember stopping by her house one time when I was visiting my Dad - I caught her by surprise and had to tell her who I was, but once we connected, we had a great visit. I'm so glad you've had her with you all these years. What a gift! We have lots of friends in life, but only one Mom. I am thinking of you all, with sadness for your loss.
