Marla,
You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Always remember the good times you shared with your mother, as she was quite a lady. Take care and know if you need me, I'm there for you.

Marla, Mike, Tiffany, Sam, I am so sorry for your loss and I am also sorry I did not get to the Memorial Service. We were out of town for the weekend. I want you to know I have been thinking about you and send my sympathy. It is terrible to lose someone you are so close to, and around the holiday's is hard also. Please know that I am thinking about you and remember the good times, the funny times, and the touching times. Those memories will be there forever.

Talk to you soon!

Karen
