Dear Gwynn & Family

I was so sorry to read about your mother's death. She was a dear sweet lady and my mother loved her to death. She was always so nice to me and I have such fond memories of her. One is how she always made my dancing costumes for my dance recitals, her many visits to see mama and many, many more. I know she will be missed by you all. My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this difficult time.

Love,
