Dear Patty, Ger, Donna, and Ger, Jr.,
I truly do not know what to say to help ease your grief - except that I love you all very much and am truly sorry for your loss.
And to you, Patty: You have always been such a wonderful daughter. God blessed your mother by giving her you. He blessed me with you, as well - my rock/my sister/my best friend. You know I am here for you and that my thoughts and prayers are with you. Take some time for yourself, "turtul".
Love you always...
