Steve, I am so sorry for you and your extended families loss of your dear Mom. Many years ago when we met in her home, she was so warm and inviting and her smile never left her face. A lovely woman.

Steve, I am deeply sorry for the loss of your mother. It was always clear from our conversations how much she meant to you. As her first-born, you must have held a very special place in her heart, just as she did in yours. You were a great son and know she will always be with you. Wishing you and your family strength and comfort in this difficult time.

I am sorry to hear of Gail's passing. I spent more time at her house when I was a teenager than I did at mine, and I always felt like part of the family. She meant a lot to me and I have fond memories of her that will never be forgotten. Condolences to you all.
