Bill,
My sincere sympathy. I always enjoyed your wife as a beautiful patient. I also took calligraphy lessons from her at your house. She was a true joy and heaven has truly gained an Angel.

Dearest Barbara and Family,
I was saddened to read of the passing of your Mother. Your Mom was always so welcoming to your friends of the old neighborhood. I used to love coming over to your house! I will always remember your Mom's patience and soft-spoken kindness. I know that you have a lifetime of wonderful memories of her to help you through this most difficult time. Among other things; I'll always remember her helping us color Easter eggs and allowing us to fly paper airplanes in the living room! My thoughts and prayers are with you.
