Rodney and Jeff,
I am so sorry to learn of the passing of your mother. I was just in Charlottesville a week ago --which always brings back fond memories of friends like the two of you! Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. Your mother was a wonderful woman who led an amazing life -- due in part to the sons she was so proud of!
Love,

I am very sad to hear of your mother's passing, Rodney. It's too soon for another loss, but God has his plan and another angel has been recruited to watch over you. It is my prayer that all your fondest memories will bring you joy and contentment through the darkest hours, and ease your sorrows with each passing day as your mother soars above the suffering, and let her light shine on within your heart, with her legacy inside you to carry on!
