Jason, Lisa and Mike.
I was so sorry to hear of your loss. I think that anyone who knew your mom will miss her also. She was a good friend and I am sure a loving mother. I am sorry I am so far away and cannot be there for you. Be strong. Love you. Uncle Jim

Dear Lisa, Michael, and Jason,
Your Mom was truly one of a kind - generous, kind and full of love for her family. There are no words to ease the sadness of her passing, but please know how much Ralph and I care and that we are here for you always. You´re in our thoughts and hearts. xoxoxo
