Linda and Family, I am so sorry for the loss of your Mother. She is now watching over you from a place with no pain. She was an extraordinary woman. It was my pleasure to have known her. My prayers are with all of you.
I am sorry that I cannot attend any of the services. But I am there in spirit and my thoughts.
She will be deeply missed.

Linda, Mr. Ruquet, and family - I was so glad I got to know Mrs. Ruquet. Even when it had been months since I saw her, she always remembered me and we picked up where we left off. She was always so joyful and fun. And elegant - always beautiful. She was the mother I wish I had. She was a blessing to everyone she touched. I know it was a great comfort for her to be with Linda and all of you. God bless you all.
