Dearest Betsy, I am so, so sorry to hear of the passing of your mother. I know how much you will miss her and how much you love her. I know how dedicated you were in caring for her and I know she is smiling down on you now. How proud she must be of you! I know how difficult this is for you and I want you to know that ALL of my prayers are with you and your family at this time. If there's anything I can do, please, please let me know.
I love you,
