Mickey,

I spoke with your Mother a few times. She was a graceous and kind woman. She was a good friend to my Mother. Her pride in you and what kind of person you have become was obvious. I am very sorry for your and your family's loss. Thank you for your friendship to our family over the years.

Sincerely,
Meredith Yoe
