Dear Kathy and Colleen-

I was so sorry to learn about your mom's death.

As I said to you before, your mom was one of the sweetest and nicest people I ever knew. She always had a smile on her face and a hearty laugh that made me smile. She always made me feel very welcome every time I visited, from my BC days right up until the last time I saw her.

I shared your sad news with our NY and CT family members. We all send you our love and condolences, especially my parents. We all feel very badly that we will not be able to see you to pay our respects in person, but you are in our thoughts and prayers. Please also give our love to John and to Flo.

May God comfort you in your loss with many wonderful memories of your mother, and of your realtionship with her.

And may she rest in peace, reunited in heaven with her parents and her sister.

Valerie and I send you our love, and our deepest sympathy.

Blessings of love & comfort-

Cousin John
