Not sure what to say?

Dear Jim and Mara,
My deepest condolences on the passing of your Mother. No matter our age, a Mother's passing is one of the paramount losses.
May she rest in God's loving arms.
Warmly with best regards,
Vanderlyn Downing-Webster

I'm so sorry to hear of Ellyn's passing. I worked with her at Gore a number of years ago. My sincere condolences to her family as I know you will miss her greatly. That's a great picture of her.

My family has yours in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Don, Jeanne, Donna, Dina, Suzanne, James and families, Ellyn was a kind, loving and courageous person. Even though we didn't see or speak with each other often, she was in my thoughts a lot.

Although I am unable to attend the mass for Ellyn, I will be with all of you in spirit.

The picture of her is beautiful

Dear Dina and Family,
Im truly sorry to hear about Miss Ellyns passing! I never had the pleasure of meeting her, but if she is half as great as her incredible daughter, Dina, then shes the best in my eyes! Sending big hugs and love to your family!!!

Dear Jeanne, Mr. LaPointe, Donna, Dina, Suzanne and Jim -
Mrs. LaPointe was such a beautiful soul and I am so sorry to hear of her passing. I spent so much time at your house during middle school years that I can picture her exactly how she was 40 years ago. She was my confirmation sponsor! I particularly remember she hung a celebratory flag on her last day of being a bus driver . I was always awed by her cheekbones and posture. So many memories. Much love to all of you.

I remember the annual family vacations at the Delaware beaches with Don and Ellyn where I was lucky enough to visit with them a few times. I was in awe of the relationship between the two of them. So many children and grandchildren, whom they were so happy with, and the love they shared with all of them. I will always remember Ellyn she was graceful and beautiful and a great example as as matriarch .
