Gosh, this really saddened me. Scarlett and I have a long history of friendship. We went to the same school. Worked together at St. Vincent's; we went to her house celebrating the birth of her children. I can't digest that she is gone. I have been out of town; and haven't seen her for quite some time; but it hurts so much to read this. My deepest sympathy to all who loved her.

Dear Andrea,

Please accept our condolences on the passing of your mom. She was a remarkable woman and I personally enjoyed working with her at St Vincent Hospital. Although this is a difficult time for you, it may help to remember that those we love never truly leave us in death. Instead, they walk with us, unseen, unheard, but always near. So it is with your mother. May this knowledge of your mom's everlasting presence in your life bring you peace. Her spirit is now closer than ever - just a prayer away. May it serve you well.

God Bless,
