Mary,Mike, and Joe,
So sorry for the loss of your dear Mother. My deepest sympathies to each of you and your families.
May the good Lord bless and keep you and help you know that she is now with the angels. As Percy Bysshe Shelley wrote:
“Peace, peace! she is not dead, she doth not sleep-
she hath awakened from the dream of life-
‘Tis we, who lost in stormy visions, keep
With phantoms an unprofitable strife,
And in mad trance, strike with our spirit’s knife
Invulnerable nothings.”
Know that I wish I could be there with you.
Mike and Family,
