Denise,
I am so sorry to hear you lost your beloved mother. It is a very difficult thing to experience and I'm sure you had a close bond with her. Please accept my heartfelt condolences and if you ever need to talk, as we have done in the past about our parents' illness, please do stop by my office anytime.
Warmest Regards,
Cindy Van Curen
