Tim and Chris,
Alex just told me of your mother's passing. I didn't know her but she was always so nice and would wave when she drove by. I know she is in a better place and you and your father are in my thoughts and prayers. If you need anything, don't hesitate to let us know.

I will miss your mom a lot. Both of you have done such wonderful projects at the church. They will serve to remind us of her and bring back good feelings of when she was with us.
