Christina and family,
I am so sorry about your mom's passing. She was so sweet and such a pleasure to be around. Every time I see a word search or cross word puzzle, I think of her. Please know that I am thinking of you both and wishing you the best.

With deepest sympathy and many caring thoughts.
