Dear Diane...
Again, I am so sorry about the passing of your Mom. I remember when she came to visit you in San Diego and how happy she was to spend time with you. I always enjoyed speaking with her when she called and she always made me laugh. She is in a much better place and I admire you for the sacrifices you made to make her last years and days more comfortable. You are in my thoughts and prayers! Love, DeLys
