Michael - Having known you for quite some time I know how difficult this loss must be for you and your family. I remember the nice note you wrote me when I lost my mother - It always helps to know you have friends who care. It certainly sounds like your mom had a wonderful and fulfilling life with so many accomplishments and so much love. You were fortunate to have her for as long as you did. My thoughts are with you and your family. Sue

As a friend of Michael's I would like to note my heartfelt condolences. Mrs. Dutton has passed to a more peaceful place. Although she is no longer amongst us, I'm sure that for her friends and relatives she remains in that portion of the heart reserved for special loved ones.
