Dear Pat & Maria,
Mike & I are so sorry for the loss of your Mom. We have missed seeing her at St. Anthony's the past few years.
She was always so kind & had such a sweet smile.
With heartfelt sympathy,

I wish I could be there with you all, but circumstances just don't permit it at this time. She will be missed, but at least she is out of misery. Love to all of you!
