Dear Lynn and family,
Buz and I are saddened to learn of the loss of your beloved mother. We know how difficult her illness was and how devastating it was for your family to watch her decline. We know, unfortunately, too well what toll this disease takes on a person and on the family.
May you be comforted by the wonderful memories of her as a wife, mother, grandmother and friend and by all her accomplishments throughout her life.
God bless you and your entire family.
