Dear Diane and Family
I am so sorry for your loss. That is a beautiful picture of your mother. I just want to commend you on being a loving and faithful daughter, and I hope that I am blessed with such love, companionship, and care from my children and grandchildren as I grow into my senior years. Saying prayers for your strength and peace at this difficult time.
Sincerely,
