Anne Marie and Family,
I'm so very sorry that you must deal with what I know is a most profound loss. The passing of a mother conjures deep emotions, but I'm certain you have memories of happier times. I hope these will be able to sustain you now and in the days ahead.
While I did not know your mom, I know you, and I can see she has left a rich and enduring legacy behind in all of you.
Paul joins me in extending our most heartfelt sympathy and much love.

Anne Marie, Tamra and family,
Your mom was the salt of the earth. When my mom passed she told me no one can take the place of your mom, but if you ever need a second mom, I am here. Thinking of all of you and sending lots of love your way. Godspeed Diane, "Mom"

Tamara, I'm so sorry for the loss of your mom. Although I had never met her I feel like I did from all the stories you've told me about her over the years. As difficult as this is, just keep in mind your mother will always be with you in spirit. ❤
