Dear John and David,
My sympathy to you on the loss of your beautiful mother. My daughter just informed me of her passing. Maureen and I were good friends for many years and lost touch with one another which is a regret. Maureen was a special and beautiful person. She could turn a dark day into a brilliant day in a nano second. May you treasure all the beautiful and wonderful memories of her always. She was a gift to be treasured and will be by all who had the fortune to know her.
With heartfelt sympathy,

Words can't describe this loss. I still reach for the phone; I have to tell Maureen some news, maybe a piece of gossip.
We spoke every day, sometimes it was serious, sometimes silly, but everyday, until the night before she left us. She called me that night. We only spoke for a minute. I knew she was in serious pain.
And that was it! Next day John called and left me the message.
When I see or hear about something interesting, I think to reach for the telephone. Automatic; call Maureen.
John, Dave, your Mom was a gem. My sympathies are with you and yours. May the Grace of God help you through this mourning.
We'll never forget the kindness and joy she brought to so many. I will miss my dearest friend, as I said,"no words can describe".
The world is a little less bright today for its loss.
All my love, Peggy

Though we were not close in recent years, we were best of friends when our children were young. Playing tennis, drinking coffee, laughing almost everyday.
She was a wonderful, exuberant beautiful woman. We would take care of little Brian when she and Jack would take a vacation and they came in their camper to join us in Nova Scotia. Great memories. Even in recent years we would reminisce at the markets when we would run into each other.
John and David she adored you both. Hang in there.
