Bobby,
Just a word to let you know my thoughts are with you during this time. As a cousin on your Mother’s side of the family I have many memories of your parents at family reunions, Sunday afternoon visits, and business trips taken with your Mother when your Dad traveled with us. Losing a parent is a difficult experience. I trust you will find peace and comfort in the days ahead.
