Dear Rosa and family,
It broke my heart the other day when I asked how you were and you told me "Not that good, Mommy died last week." I told you I'd pray for you and I meant it. That is so hard to deal with but I know you will think happy thoughts of her and make it through the tough times, knowing that one day you will all be together again up there in Heaven. Smile. Be strong and support each other through this. Your Mom would love knowing that you're all sticking together for her sake. My family and I are doing that since the loss of my Dad and it really helps. Keep her memory alive by doing things with her always in mind.
Sincerely,

Betty

To the family of Cathy,
I worked with her at school 18 for 10 years. She was a tough cookie but I liked and respected her. I could not make it tonight and I am deeply sorry because she deserved my presence in saying farewell to a good person.May she find peace in God and may God bring condolences to you all.
