Dear Cheryl, Gail, John and Joyce,
It is with great sadness that I heard of the loss of your mother. She was a wonderful lady and I have many fond memories of our families and our parents celebrating holidays and doing many things together. Your mom is certainly a highlight of many of those memories! Please know that you all are in my thoughts and prayers. May your wonderful memories of your mom and dad help ease your sorrow during this time.
With love and hugs to each of you,
Beth
