Sorry to hear of your mother’s death. You were fortunate to have her such a long time.

Dear MaryEllen, Phyllis, Sue, and Patty,
Since I don’t have addresses for everyone, please accept my condolences online. I know right now you are missing your mother terribly, but you can rejoice in all the wonderful years you had with her. She lived her life fully right up to the end. I visited your house so much as a child, that I felt like one of the family and your mother was a "surrogate" mother to me. She left a beautiful legacy of love.

She brought allot of joy to me and I always loved to come to your house because she made you fill right at home. Your Mother will always remain in my heart with all the memories.
My deepest sympathy and your all in my prayers.
