Dear Bill,

My deepest sympathy to you in the loss of your mother. Mine passed last February at 93--despite all of those years, it's still hard, but you do come to accept it and move forward. She obviously was an outstanding person--you are living proof of that! My thoughts and prayers are with--God bless and stay well. Sincerely, Monty Nielsen

Bill, your mom looked like a lovely woman who enjoyed life. I'm certain that she was very proud of you and that she was pleased to have you move back to Texas these past few years. Please give my regards to your family.
