Dear Jane, Tracey and Bob,
I was so sorry to learn today of your Mom's passing. When my Mom told me the news, I immediately got a mental image of her sitting in a big, comfortable chair reading a good book ... history or heaven? I wish I could offer some words that would provide comfort, but I know that only time really does that. My thoughts and prayers will be with you all at this difficult time though.

Dear Bob,Tracey and Jane,
I'm so sorry to hear about your mom. She and my mom developed a close friendship over the last several years of her life. I stopped to see her after my mom had died and she pulled out the video of either Tracey or Bob's home in Georgia. Of course she shared all her photos too! She was very proud of her family. She did a great job raising you all after your dad died. Hold on to all those happy memories.

Dear Bob, Tracey and Jane,
I am so very sorry to hear about your mom. I was just devastated when I read todays paper. We spoke just a few weeks ago and had hoped to meet for lunch. She was a very special lady and will be missed.
