To Debbie

I just ran across your mother's obituary. I am so sorry for your loss. Your mother was such a kind soul. It is always so difficult to lose a parent. I still remember you coming to the funeral home when my mom passed and how much it meant to me. I will keep you and your family in my prayers.
