Dear Gloria & Gilbert :

You have my deepest sympathy on the death of your mom. I know how important she was in your life. Your relationship was quite special and while this makes the loss so very painful, I do believe that your closeness and warm memories will bring you comfort. Know that I am thinking of you and your mom.
