I just wanted to express my condolences for the lost of your wife and mother. She was one of the prettiest women I ever met and had the personality to go with it. I tried to take the opportunity to tell her how pretty she was everytime I could. We always spoke and exchanged glances in church. I will miss her presence. Mary and Larry Holland
