Billy and Henry;

Words can't express how difficult this is. I love you both and will always miss your mother.

I have some wonderful memories of our childhoods and things Aunt Doris did to make everything just a little more special. We all need to keep those memories in our hearts.

Love,

Susan

Hank,

My condolences on your loss.

I remember meeting your Mom back when we all lived at Bradford Manor. That seems like a lifetime ago, doesn't it.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and Billy and Janis.

Please don't hesitate to call if I can do anything for you and your family.
