Please except my sincerest condolences on the loss of your Mom. I was stationed with her and your Dad in Germany and enjoyed many great times curling on her team. Her and your Dad were an awesome couple together, always with love and laughter. She will be missed by family and her many friends.

We were sorry to hear of your loss and the loss of our good friend. We have such fond memories of our times together, especially on (and off) the curling ice. Know that our thoughts are with you at this sad time. She will be missed.

Dear Graham, Katherine and Patricia,
I have not had the pleasure of meeting you.
Your mother was my aunt, however as we were close in age, 3 years apart, we were like cousins, and knowing what a fun person your mom was, you can imagine the antics we got into when we were youngsters.
Please accept my sincere condolences.
