Jim and Maryann,

We send our deepest sympathy to you both. It's
always very difficult to lose a mother! We are
so sorry (because of our on-going health problems) we couldn't make it to her funeral
services. We were looking forward to seeing
you both in spite of it being a sad day.

Dorothy is in our thoughts and prayers

God bless you and your family.
