Dear Katie, I was so sorry to hear about your mom. I had such a great time with her at cheering competitions during the Wildcat days. She was a wonderful, caring person with a great sense of humor. My prayers are with you.

Anthony and Family,

Please accept my sincere sympathy on the passing of Karen. Although she suffered and this moment may seem like a blessing, it is still a loss for you. Life is never quite the same when someone close to us is no longer present.

I will hold you and your family in my thoughts and prayers as you move through the process of grieving and healing.
