Dear Dorothy and Family,

I was very saddened to hear of your mother's passing. It is so difficult to lose the touch, the thoughts and the devotion of a mother. My own Mom passed away almost 15 years ago, just before Christmas. What I wouldn't give to have her nearby...to wiggle her tootsies in the sand with me, soak up the sun and splash in the surf, just as your Mom did with you so many times. Cherish the memories...the ones we shared with those whom we loved will never fade.
