Tommy and family:
I am sorry to hear of Suzzie's passing. You may not remember me, but your mom and I graduated together. Was hoping to see her at our 50th class reunion, but understand she did not feel up to it. I remember when you were born, and watched you grow up for several years.
You have my deepest sympathy.
