Dear Gordon, Bruce, David and Karen,
I am sorry to hear of your mother’s passing. It was always a pleasure to visit with your family when we were young. Your mother was such a good listener and willing to be supportive of us as we looked to her as a mother figure.
May the memories that you hold close in your heart bring comfort to you as you grieve her passing.

Sincerely,
Bonnie
