Teresa and I are deeply saddened at the passing of a fine woman. I can think of so many wonderful memories I've had with you all over the many years I've known you. I know how difficult things are right now, but want you to know that we and many, many others are praying for your healing, and know also, that your Mom will forever hold a very special spot in my heart.
