    Dear Richard and Gail,
    I was very sorry to hear about your loss. Mom’s are very special people and I know you will miss her. She sounded like a real force of nature, strong-willed and independent.
    She was blessed with a large and close-knit family so I am sure her life was full.
    My thoughts are with you both (and Phil and Kathryn) as you get through this difficult time.
    Roberta

    Dear Ken,
    Please accept my deepest condolences to you and your family on the passing of your wonderful mom. I have often thought of the lunches she prepared for us in that great kitchen. She always made me feel like I was one of her boys when I was there,I’m sure she did that to all your friends.What a lady.

    We all know where she is now.

    Sincerely

    Victor
