Sandy and I were second cousins, once removed and spent many hours together in childhood and stayed in touch once we married and had our families. She was a devoted mother and grandmother and will be greatly missed. I send my sincere sympathy to her family and along with my regret in not being there personally to pay my respects.

I want to offer you my deepest condolences on the passing of your mother. My mother is Sandy Morrison, the daughter of Rachel Coyle Morrison. Rachel was the sister of your Grandpa Tommy Coyle. Your father and Grandma Gertrude came to Rachel's wake, which my mother greatly appreciated. I met all of you when I was a little girl. I also believe that your mother came to my brother's wake. My thoughts are with you during this very difficult time.
