To the Anderson family,
As Jean's friend and neighbor I so enjoyed meeting her wonderful mother who was the epitome of "Ma" -Always more interested in her children and others than in herself.

Dear Miss Jean,
We are so sorry to hear of your mother's death. We know all too well that even when the loss follows a long illness one is never prepared. We never had the honor of meeting her but if her daughter Jean is any indication of how she lived her life she must have been quite the woman. We'll pray for her to rest in peace and for you and your family to heal from the loss. Please accept our deepest sympathies.
Love from Laura, Jim and Giancarlo Coelho
