Dearest Dawn and family,
Please accept my deepest condolences in the passing of your mom. I am so saddened to hear this news. I was so blessed and privileged to know your mom for several decades. She was a big part of our women´s bible group and a big part of the group that started my spiritual journey in Randolph Fri mornings. I will remember her for her strength of character, deep faith, wisdom, and sense of humor. Her spirit lives on!
With deepest sympathies,
Elaine C.
