Tom, Sharon, and Tyler,

I'm sorry to hear of your loss. I always enjoyed seeing your Mother/Grandmother. She was always so cheerful and made me feel welcome in her home.

Beverly ("Chinese Lady") and family--so sorry to read of the death of your Mother and know the pain of your loss as my Mother passed away a couple of years ago. Parents are so hard to part with. It is said when your parents are gone you are no longer someone's child. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. God bless!

John, as I recently learned with the loss of my father, there really aren't any words that truly suffice when it comes to consoling someone. However, as you have known for the past 6 years I have worked with you, we have developed a special friendship special-made for these kinds of times. You and yours are in my thoughts and prayers. Take care. In friendship and with great affection--Charlotte
