To Lisa Laurie Jimmy & John,
I am very sorry to hear of your mother's death-my deepest sympathy to you.

Dear Lisa, Laurie, Jimmy, and John,
I was so sorry to hear of your mother's passing. So many happy memories of time spent with your family in Lexington. Your mother was always so kind to me and such a loving mother to you all. Although I haven't seen any of you for a long time, I can see you all clearly in your brown house across the street. And how your father could play the piano! And, of course, Rebel, always drooling, but lovable!
My thoughts are with you.
Alison
