David, Jarrod and Suzie,
My mom told me about the passing of your mother and I wanted to let you know that my thoughts and prayers are with you. What gives me strength in dealing with the loss of my dad is the belief that I will see him again one day and I hope that you can find comfort in this knowledge regarding your mother as well. Your mom is part of my memories of growing up as are the three of you. Good memories. God Bless you all.
