Dear Tim and Anna

I just found out about your mother's passing. My deepest sympathies to you and the rest of the Townsend family. I know how difficult it is to lose someone very close and dear to you. Jim and I lost our beloved mother Audrey almost 5 years ago. Please know that all of you are in my thoughts and prayers during this most difficult time.

Dear Townsend Family:

I am glad that I was able to share Tim's Christmas concert with you and have that time together with Vi. Praise God for Vi's faith and that as the shock of loosing her becomes more bearable, you will be able to take comfort in knowing that she is in the best place, and some day in the future, we will join her. It comforts me to know that she and Carl are both in Paradise.

Love Mitzi Schwertfeger
