Words cannot express much in a time like this, but I'd just like to tell your Mother thanks. She managed to raise 3 great sons whom I've been truly blessed to have as friends. I feel so fortunate for the time I've spent with her, and thankful for knowing her. Your family is in our thoughts, prayers, and hearts.
