Maude, This is just to say that you are in my prayer's.Life come's and life goes, but friends are forever.Your friend Hannah.

Mimi,
No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. It is with that bond that we learn to love and live. Although the days ahead will not be the easiest hold on to God and honor Tom thru your actions and your life. My deepest condolences are with you and Maude as you grieve and know that if you are in need of anything I am here.

May God bless you in the time of your sorrows. You are in my prayer.

Maude my prayers are with you and your family during this time of sorrow.I know that there is no sorrow that God can't heal.
