Hi Pete:

I am truly sorry for the loss of your mother. I know you were a very dedicated son. The care and love you showed your mother counts, it defines you as a person.

I'll pray for your mom.

Dear Barbara and family,
I was so sad to hear of your Mom's passing. Even though, I haven't seen your family in many years, I have lots of fond memories of your parents during our high school years. I think of you often and don't know where you are.
