Dear "Cookie" and Nick,
I'm sorry to hear about your loss. Hopefully Minnie has met my Mother, Jeanette Morelli Haddad, and they're planning a lovely Thanksgiving over a glass of Chianti. I share your sorrow.

Dear Ursula,
Thank you for letting me know of your mother's passing. Regardless of her age, a person as loving as she is a great loss. Having also lost my mother, all I can recommend is that you keep her memories alive with all the anecdotes throughout her life. My thoughts and prayers are with you and all your family.
