Dearest Irene and family,
I want to express our deepest sympathies and condolences on the passing of your mom. I was sadden to learn of her passing and I feel like it was just a short while back I had just seen her. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I have not forgotten you or your mom and family. I will cherish memories of our conversations and times we got to spend together when I used to live there. May the Good Lord keep you safe and give you the strength to go forward and be able to cherish the beautiful times you had with her.
