"I am so deeply sorry about your mom's untimely death. I know it was sudden and unexpected and that makes it very difficult for all of you. I will always remember your mom's friendship with my mother (Kitty) and will be forever grateful to her for the many kindnesses she showed mom. We have lost two wonderful women in a short period of time. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
