Dear John and Gene,
Please accept my sympathy on the passing of your mother. I have known her since I was about 7 years old and was her daughter-in-law for 25 years so have many vivid memories of holidays spent together, visits she made to our homes in LA,GA and Duxbury and vacations that she shared with us in New Orleans, Savannah, Disney and Myrtle Beach.I am sorry I will be unable to attend a final tribute to her on Saturday, but my thoughts will be with you at that time.
Sincerely, Sue
