Dear Theresa, Brian, Aaron, Jerry, and Family,
I wrote a lengthy note here last night, and I don't see it printed, so it may have been too long to print. I am glad I was able to meet you all, Dara's children and your beautiful families. The service was a touching and loving tribute to your mother. The photos were wonderful, and it was very clear that she was very beloved by all of you. A mother couldn't ask for more. She must have been extremely proud of all of you. I am so happy that you all know how precious family is. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
Sincerely,
Lesley Sherman-Hunt
